POUGHKEEPSIE – Dutchess Community College and Dutchess United Educators, the union representing the college’s full- and part-time faculty as well as non-teaching staff, have reached a five-year contract.

It has been approved by the union membership, the college’s board of trustees and the county legislature.

The pact provides annual step increases in pay and service for union members, as well as a 12 percent salary increase over the life of the contract.

College President Peter Grant Jordan said he is “grateful for the patience of our colleagues and share my deepest appreciation for the diligent, collaborative efforts of our negotiating teams.”

“This is a major accomplishment for our members and ultimately, it benefits our students as well,” said Dr. Werner Steger, president of Dutchess United Educators. “Having this process behind us assures that our faculty and staff can focus fully on the education and career goals of our students.”
