DCE Raises

Despite the lack of raises for all other unionized employees in higher education, MCCC DCE members are receiving salary increases this semester. The 2000-2003 Agreement provided for raises beyond the normal July to June three-year contract period.

MCCC members working under the DCE contract will see their pay increase by 2% for the Fall 2003 semester. The new salary schedule is as follows:

Step 1 - $751.00 per credit
Step 2 - $805.00 per credit
Step 3 - $866.00 per credit
Step 4 - $909.00 per credit

Unit members who are compensated on an hourly basis will get a 2% increase of their hourly rate. These will be the last raises under the current contract, which expires this semester.
