If you do not support a strike authorization vote, you risk getting a contract with: – A 35% reduction in temporary faculty salaries – Increased out-of-pocket healthcare costs – Elimination of annuitant healthcare and continued lack of domestic partner annuitant healthcare – Mandatory development and teaching of distance education courses without compensation
