On Tuesday, March 21, the contingent faculty union met with administration to attempt to head off a strike and settle a contract that provides fair pay for part-time faculty and job stability for full-time contingent faculty. We did not come to an agreement, and as of today our strike on March 28th and 29th is still on.
Please sign up for picket shifts here. When we strike we win. Join the strike! Respect the picket line by not holding classes and not attending classes on March 28th and 29th.
In one final attempt to reach a fair deal for all contingent faculty before striking, we will be back at the table with the administration on Sunday, March 26 at 1:00pm. Unless the administration agrees to significant improvements in pay and job stability for contingent faculty, we will proceed as planned.
