Salary Salary (including all compensation, salary and pension/benefits) What salary issues are most important on our campus (GSIs, SSIs, compression/ inversion, raising the floor for lowest paid, post- promotion salary increases for full profs, chair fractions/stipends, etc.) What are faculty on our campus most concerned about with respect to benefits and pension?
Workload Workload (e.g., class size, service demands, advising load, RTP requirements, etc.) In what areas has workload increased on our campus over the last five years? Is it possible to have an equitable division of labor among tenure-line faculty and lecturers? Is the greater problem too many classes or too many students? What are some possible solutions to compensate for those workload issues?

Is there a problem with anti-Semitic and racist student groups that we can address in the contract?
