Building alliances with undergrads…

December 19, 2010 / Alyson S. / 0 Comments

…this may be a good place to do it? (Check this out. It’s organized by the March 4th/October 7th Committee, and apparently lots of student activists from the senior colleges have been coming to these meetings. It may be a great place for for the AP to build relationships with these students, which will be imperative in fighting tuition hikes and budget cuts in the spring)…

Spring Organizing Kickoff Meeting

When: Sunday, January 16, 12 to 2 PM (longer if necessary)

Where: Solidarity Center, 55 West 17th St., 5th floor (between 5th and
6th Aves.)

This meeting will be used to review and assess the previous semester’s
actions and strategize for next semester. This will be an excellent
opportunity to discuss the inter-related campaigns against tuition
hikes, budget cuts, layoffs and the upcoming contract negotiations,
including the struggle to win real improvements for adjuncts,
including pay raises, job security and health care.

PSC Local Chapter Meetings

October 12, 2010 / Calvin S. / 1 Comment

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.
