Crystal Lewis at The Chief Leader reports the Professional Staff Congress (PSC), which represents 30,000 Faculty and Staff at the City University of New York (CUNY), has sued the Public University System over what the Union claims is CUNY’s “repeated failure to deduct and submit Employee pension contributions” in a timely manner.  The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, notes CUNY failed to deduct contributions from retroactive raises received during the course of the 2010-2017 contract.  In 2016, the PSC ratified a pact that included a 10.4% wage hike and back pay, with the first raise taking effect in April 2012.  CUNY is, by law, required to deduct its Employees’ pension contributions from paychecks and submit those into either the Teachers Retirement System or the Teachers’ Insurance and Annuity Association of America.  But the suit says that for years, CUNY has not provided the pension systems with accurate Employee earnings records.
