"The University of Connecticut has reached a tentative agreement with its largest labor union, guaranteeing its employees an average wage increase of at least 3.2 percent over each of the next five years.
In exchange, the 1,900 members of the UConn Professional Employees Association will begin working a 40-hour week, up from the current 35-hour workweek. The agreement covers admissions and financial aid officers, librarians and other non-teaching staff who earn $40,000 to $150,000 a year.
"I think we can all agree in general that the public wants and expects UConn employees to work what the rest of privately employed workers work," UConn spokeswoman Stephanie Reitz said. "The vast majority of state employees are doing a 40-hour workweek already."
Older employees will also be offered a "phased retirement" under which they can cut their hours and workload over the three years, leading to their retirement while keeping their full health and pension benefits."
