A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:

The University employs faculty/staff at competitive rates of compensation that are above the living wage threshold of the area. This is through a working combination of public policy and union representation of the various represented constituent groups on campus. For hired contractors in both construction trades and non- construction trades most contracted employees are covered by “prevailing wage laws in NY. The vast majority of no- covered contract employees are in the information technology field where compensation is well above “living wage” standards. http://www.goer.state.ny.us/Labor_Relations/index.cfm From Marta Santiago, Director of Human Resources: "Oswego State employs between 1200-1400 state employees directly. In addition, contractors working on campus employ. Compensation is negotiated by the Governor's Office of Employee Relations with its numerous employee groups, 6 of which are represented on our campus (UUP, CSEA, PEF, Council 82, NYSCOPBA and M/C). It is the policy of the state on New York to provide a compensation system that ensures the recruitment and retention of the most qualified and competent work force. Total compensation includes but is not limited to salary, behefit plans, retirement benefits, performance incentives and professional development leaves."
