Students, Teachers Rally for Contract at RVCC
Branchburg, NJ — More than 100 faculty members and students rallied today at Raritan Valley Community College calling for a contract.
Teachers at RVCC have been working without a contract since July 2015, according to acting union president Bick Treut, a communication studies professor.
“We’re hurting,” said Treut. “And, we’re sad. This is a fantastic institution. We launch our students into bright futures. We are educated, dedicated, and effective. We deserve a fair contract.”
The teachers are asking for a decrease in insurance costs and increase in pay. Talks broke down between the faculty and school representatives over health care costs.The two parties are now headed to mediation.
The college’s Board of Trustees will host its next meeting on Feb. 16 where faculty and students promised to attend.
