Rutgers contract avoids lay-offs; calls for furloughs, pay freezes (updated) - Daniel J. Munoz, NJ Biz

 A new contract between Rutgers University and some of its largest faculty and staff unions means that thousands of workers will avoid lay-offs until at least Jan. 1 next year in exchange for a series of other cuts. The agreement dated March 24 calls for full-time employees in the union to take 10 furlough days by July 31, or eight days for part-time employees. Members of the AAUP-AFT chapter – which represents 5,000 Rutgers staff – would be furloughed for six days.
