On August 6 and 7, FSU faculty voted on changes made to the 2013-2016 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The result was unanimous approval of some excellent revisions to the contract. We planned the vote as soon as possible after reaching agreement with Administration in order to implement salary adjustments as soon as possible. Thanks to all who were able to cast votes at this time of year. We’re very grateful to Kris Harper and Michael Buchler for their work in organizing the vote.
Salary increases will be phased in over the next couple of months, depending on the category of the increase. The average salary increase, consisting of promotion, sustained performance, merit, performance and market equity components, will be in the 5% range. A reminder that this is an average, as market equity will not apply to all faculty, and merit increases will vary from department to department. Faculty will be informed of their individual raises by the University.

Many thanks to our bargaining team for their tireless work: Irene Padavic, Scott Hannahs, Michael Buchler, Jack Fiorito, Robin Goodman, Nancy Kellett, and Tom Wazlavek. We look forward to building on these gains in coming years.
