The Professional Staff Congress (PSC)–the union which represents contingent (and all) employees teaching at CUNY–will have meetings on THURSDAY OCTOBER 21ST and NOVEMBER 4TH to discuss the demands they’ll make for the new contract with CUNY. The PSC and the Adjunct Project encourage all individuals teaching at CUNY to attend.

The meeting, called a Delegate Assembly, is open to all PSC Members. If you teach at CUNY, you pay dues, and by filling out a brief card you become a member, and can then vote on the upcoming contract. The Adjunct Project will have union membership cards available at the meeting.
