@Komaniecki_R I am increasingly convinced that you are going to make "In Summer" number 1 just to troll us. People will be less upset their song isn't #1 when the number one choice is so clearly wrong (very cute song, great performance, but it's filler).
The higher up on the LUMUN pay scale you already are, the smaller the difference gets. Adjusted for inflation, the highest rate of $5875 (implemented in 2018) is $7062. In 2025, with 2.5% inflation, it will be $7234. Which in terms of actual buying power is a raise of .... 1%.
It's nice to see @MemorialU offering @LUMUN_NL more money, but let's not pretend their offer isn't almost completely eaten up by inflation. $5000 has been the base pay since 2015. If it had kept up with inflation, it would be around $6368.
(To be clear, I added a year of inflation to account for MUN basing their increase totals on the 2025 compensation of $7321, vs. the 2024 compensation of
$7169)
(1/2) 'Despite having had months to respond #MemorialUniversity has repeatedly refused to submit financial proposals to the union,' Coffin... said the lack of response from the university is "unacceptable & deeply unfair."

Can someone from @MUNFaculty share with twitter what the update is? @MemorialU hasn't said anything, and this exhausted and stressed PCI would like to know...
Today's @MUNFaculty picket line offering: Blueberry Oatmeal muffins, just in case people needed a break from the onslaught of sweetness. I may be skeptical about @MemorialU's intentions in today's negotiations, I'll keep hoping for a #FairDealatMUN#FairDealatMUNL
I have no idea who at @MemorialU thought it was a good idea to send this out less than 30 minutes after a Newsline announcing the resumption of negotiations with @MUNFaculty. I guess it's helpful to know they have absolutely no intention to negotiate... #FairDealatMUNL
Today it's not @MUNFaculty picket line cookies, it's rally brownies! Celebrate the fight for a #FairDealAtMUNL with ooey-gooey chocolate goodness. I'll hand them out until they're gone!
Today's picket line cookies for @MUNFaculty: Chocolavas, a recipe from @dinnerwithjulie that I've been making for probably 20 years at this point. Here's to one day closer to a #FairDealAtMUNL!
The University knew this was coming—why didn't they plan for it? From all appearances, you've deliberately left instructors and students in the dark, when you could have put together solid contingency plans. Maybe some collegial governance would help with the long-term planning?
I appreciate @MemorialU taking the time for a town hall, and for asking my questions. BUT! It was frustrating that every other answer was "it's too early to tell," or "we have to wait until the @MUNfaculty strike is over."
