In the wake of inspiring rebellions from Egypt to Wisconsin, a growing number of New Yorkers now demand similar mass action to stop the city & state budget attacks on our communities. But for many of us, our efforts are hobbled by the New York state Taylor Law, which prohibits public sector workers from going on strike. Kindergarten-thru-college educators, transit workers, nurses, bus drivers–all of these workers and more are subject to terrible job contracts, layoffs, and cuts without this ability to withhold our work in order to demand better living conditions. But the Taylor Law is not invincible, and neither are our bosses.

THE ADJUNCT PROJECT welcomes CUNY people, rank-and-file union folks from around NYC, and others who are interested to join us for this crucial and exciting event. Come hear speakers share experiences from the front lines of past strikes, discuss how direct labor actions can improve CUNY working conditions, and learn about how we can together–across NYC’s unions–challenge the Taylor Law. Now’s the time to link up with fellow workers to turn New York’s priorities right-side up ourselves.
