Unionization at HACC

Greetings, colleagues.

On Sept. 17, 2025, the College presented an updated contract proposal to the union. The College has continued to bargain in good faith and we are as interested in a fair contract as the union. Below are the key elements offered by the College in seeking to reach a fair contract:

Year 1 for the union to choose either:

a) increase full-time faculty base pay by 9.28% and increase the full-time faculty overload and adjunct rate to $1,374 by moving tiers one and two to the tier three wage, or
b) increase full-time faculty base pay by 9.1% and increase the full-time faculty overload and adjunct rate to $1,400 by moving current tier one, two and three to a new higher rate

Year 2: 3% increase for all full-time and adjunct faculty
Year 3: 3% increase for all full-time and adjunct faculty

In addition, the College has offered:

Minimum base salaries for full-time faculty will be increased each year of the contract
An increase from $1,150 to $2,000 will be added to base salaries for promotion in rank before annual increases are applied
Shortening the tenure-track process from five years to four years
$100 payments for administrative requests for incomplete grades per student for adjunct faculty
Healthcare savings (HSA) contributions by the College of $1,500 for individuals and $3,000 for families for full-time faculty
College paying 100% of premiums for the standard dental and vision insurance plan for individuals and their families for full-time faculty

We are grateful for the dedication, talent and contributions of every member of the College. HACC is committed to serving its communities through mutual respect, honest dialogue and a shared sense of purpose.
