Now I am even more perplexed...If a Union can establish only the minimum salary base and not individual salaries, then comparisons of rank based " final " salaries would not seem to reflect the impact of a union but other factors.
In addition, there was a recent statement that the vast majority of clinical positions are non-tenured..and , as we know, the current measures for productivity ( based on PWC input ) put a very strong pressure on clinical faculty to have ,at least, 0.8 of their time devoted to revenue generation. Some argue that academic pursuit ( in pursuit of grants ) is the stuff of nights and weekends and that the system cannot afford to pay for uncompensated effort. If all this true, which it might be, then the number of future clinical faculty seeking senior rank ( much less the tenure track ) will be very much lower than in the past...or, if the academic path is chosen, as inferred, it will come with a lower salary top end.
Is a Union seen as a protector of the " clinical faculty as " worker" or as a protector of faculty academic values in an academic medical center?
