BRANCHBURG – Faculty members at Raritan Valley Community College will be receiving a 2 percent salary increase, plus a one-time $500 bonus, for the 2014-15 school year under the terms of a contract approved earlier this month.

The agreement was reached nearly a year after negotiations began on the one-year contract.

That also means that negotiations on a new contract may begin next month, said Maria DeFillipis, president of the Raritan Valley Faculty Federation.

“It was a very nice offer,” said DeFillipis, adding that the faculty approved the contract in a unanimous vote.
