#CUNYStrikeReady & Adjunct Project’s #CUNYStrikeReady Teach-In Series

Post the resolution “PSC Must Prepare for Strike- Readiness As Part of the Fight to Save Lives, Save Jobs, Save CUNY” Final resolution presented by PSC leadership, passed at the PSC Special DA 11.23.2020, with amendments from the Cross Campus Strike Authorization Vote Coalition (CCSAVC), the Adjunct Project’s #CUNYStrikeReady Teach- I series launched in December 2020 as a continued commitment to the effort to support #CUNYStrikeReady. We hope to utilize this as a vehicle for education, and to support the struggle to mobilize adjunct and graduate workers at CUNY to be #CUNYStrikeReady.

The Adjunct Project’s #CUNYStrikeReady Teach-In series will be based on the first teach-in session, the collaborative (anonymous) jamboards, feedback from the additional series, and continued collaboration with other CUNY groups to uplift and organize around the needs for all to make #CUNYStrikeReady.

In the face of layoffs, increasing class sizes, unsafe working conditions, and raises being withheld, our union has passed a strike readiness resolution. Since then, PSC members have experienced further assaults by the administration, including the withholding of contractual raises for some of our most vulnerable members. In building towards strike readiness we want to discuss and prepare for the challenges that the Taylor Law poses to public sector worker strikes. Come learn about this law and how PSC and other public sector unions have approached strike readiness. A concise panel presentation will be followed by an open discussion. Bring your questions, concerns, and proposals!

Join us on Wednesday, March 10th to learn about the possibilities from our chapter grievance counselor, a labor lawyer, and a union organizer. Please invite your friends and colleagues!
