Manchester, NH – The New Hampshire Higher Education Union (NHHEU), IBEW Local 2320, is pleased to announce that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Community College System of NH (CCSNH) for full-time faculty members. It comes after a bargaining process that focused primarily on compensation, health insurance and contract language about workload.

The majority of the NHHEU, IBEW Local 2320 membership and the CCSNH Board of Trustees approved the nearly two-year contract agreement, which will expire on June 30, 2027.

“We are grateful for the open dialogue between our parties that expedited these negotiations and helped secure contracts for all CCSNH full-time faculty members,” says NHHEU, IBEW Local 2320 Business Manager Jim Golden. “We will always advocate for livable wages, affordable benefits and balanced working conditions for our members, and are very pleased with the outcome of this bargaining round.”

This successful bargaining process follows a previous agreement between the two parties that was signed in February of this year but has since expired.
