RF workers deserve respect

Tell RF Management: Treat Your Workers Fairly!

Due to RF management’s rushed, flawed rollout of the new “OneRF” administrative software, RF project employees have missed paychecks, leaving them to struggle to pay their bills. To add insult to injury, RF management is still refusing to pay many RF project employees at the Grad Center, CUNY SLU, City Tech, & LaGuardia the backpay and one-time lump sum payments to which they are entitled under a contract negotiated last year. Enough is enough!

On March 15, 2025 a massive crowd of New Yorkers from across the labor movement and allies gathered at Foley Square for a march to demand the current administration to stop the federal cuts as right-wing politicians in Washington are moving forward with devastating proposals to cut two trillion dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, housing and food assistance and other vital programs to fund a massive tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations.
