Part-time faculty at The School of Jazz ratify new union contract
May 22, 2023 // The union representing part-time faculty at The School of Jazz secured a new contract with a significant pay boost for adjunct professors on May 5, roughly six months after their part-time faculty counterparts at other New School colleges launched a 25-day-long strike for their own fair contract. Represented by the AFM Local 802 union, the bargaining committee for part-time faculty at The School of Jazz and Contemporary Music voted unanimously to ratify a new, six-year contract with The New School. Their new contract includes a 24% increase to the union’s base pay rate, administrative fees for work done outside of the classroom, and a 16% and 20% raise over the life of the contract for those who earn the union’s base rate and those who earn above it, respectively.
