Point Park’s full-time faculty union, the Newspaper Guild, reached a three-year contract deal with the administration on Monday, Oct. 28 after five months and 18 bargaining sessions.
Natalie Rice, vice president of human resources was the main negotiator for Point Park.
In an email announcing the deal, the union noted that the contract still must be ratified by the Board of Trustees. A formal vote is scheduled but was not completed before publication.
At the time of publication, it is not known if demands for fair inflation-matched wages were met.
The union said faculty members will be allowed to review the contract before it is formally ratified.
Karen Dwyer, lead negotiator for the union, said contract details are forthcoming and will be updated in the next issue of the Globe.
