A healthy work environment should reward innovation, excellence, and experience, but many URA-AFT members report being frustrated when applying for reclassifications to higher grades of pay while taking on more varied and progressive responsibilities. Our Bargaining Team has introduced proposals to Rutgers management to clarify the steps necessary to grow to higher grades and increase transparency in the process. We are asking for your experience with the process to help us illustrate examples and propose solutions.
