Using the Chart:
-Find your 9 month salary in the 1st column
-Your estimated monthly payroll deduction is in the 2nd column
-Your annual Fair Share contribution can be estimated by multiplying
the Monthly Deduction by 9
-The percentage of your annual salary is in the 3rd column
- The monthly deduction is proposed ONLY for the academic year; not
for summer.
- Note the slight difference in monthly deductions for the
benefits of full membership.
Fair Share is in your interest:
Maintaining a healthy financial standing for the Akron-AAUP
serves every faculty member's interests. The past 2 years of
contract negotiations were expensive. Our experience is that
they will be expensive in 2008, as well.
Relative Worth of the Investment:
Every faculty member should ask themselves if it is worth
less than the cost of a monthly cable television bill to insure fair
treatment and regular salary increases for the future?
What Your Investment Gets You:
Regardless of salary level, Akron-AAUP negotiated an
average raise of 3.56% per year for the life of this contract.
At a rate of .55% per year for a $65,000 salary, faculty recoup
fair share investment at the rate of six and a half times each year!
