Bargaining Update 23

With forty PSC members observing, the PSC Bargaining Team returned to the table on June 17, putting forward a proposal for a new fund to be administered by the union, to which Associate Professors could apply for 3 hours of reassigned time. The union also presented counter proposals related to PSC-CUNY Research Awards and the length of a teaching observation.

CUNY can lead on climate

CUNY faculty, staff and students all know that our infrastructure is in terrible condition. Whether it’s dilapidated buildings, freezing or overheated classrooms, leaky roofs, rodent infestations, strange odors or dangerous conditions on our campuses, we’ve all experienced the infrastructural crisis. The CUNY Trustees agree, arguing in a recent report that “Only 8% of all CUNY buildings were found to be in ‘good repair.’”
