WITH MANAGED HEALTH care and retroactive pay increases included, Elgin Community College released its tentative two-year contract agreement with its faculty union on July 17th. ECC's faculty union voted to ratify the contract that same week, and shortly thereafter the board of trustees did the same. Though several issues, including pay increases for both full-timers and adjuncts, appear to be resolved, others were not. In the new contract, full-time faculty will have to choose managed care, and adjunct teachers will not be allowed to purchase health insurance.
"It's a pretty good two-year contract," union President David Sujak said. "But all it does is buy us some time."
