Come one COME ALL!!! This Thursday night at 630 pm at 61 broadway, nyc, the PSC union will decide on contract demands to take to the bargaining table with CUNY.
It is important to attend and show your support! Come in solidarity by wearing a T-Shirt (contact The Adjunct Project for one).
The PSC, our union, has local chapter meetings at each CUNY campus throughout the school year. As an Adjunct, it is important to attend the local meetings, particularly at the campus(es) you teach! The Adjunct Project is compiling a list of all CUNY chapter local PSC meetings. This is meant for Adjuncts and other CUNY staff to find easily and accessible for date, time, and location. In the crucial contract negotiations only a few weeks away, it is important to attend these local meetings.
Below is the list of local chapter meetings we have thus far from CUNY campuses. The meetings in italics are upcoming and very important because of the November 4 contract negioations.

Hi everyone. The PSC Executive Council met last night to discuss contract demands. The AP was asked to send a list of grad student-specific demands, so based on topics that came up at our first meeting and on conversations we’ve been having with various members, I sent the following list:
“1) Minimum three-year contracts for adjuncts, with documented reasons for non-reappointment and a system of seniority. 2) Wage increase of $30 per credit hour for adjuncts; equivalent for grad fellows and other contingent titles. Step raises every year. 3) Comprehensive employer-paid health insurance on par with municipal workers for all contingent employees. 4) Promotional series, real job security and due process for HEOs.
In addition to these, the students we have talked to are also very much concerned with the current and pressing issues of late pay for many adjuncts across CUNY campuses, as well as layoffs/non-reappointment of adjuncts for . . . → Read More: What are your demands for the upcoming union contract between the PSC and CUNY?
