Bargaining Updates 31 & 32

President Davis reiterated the PSC’s demand for a stronger economic offer with better raises during both sessions. The union put forward a new counteroffer on adjunct job security on the 19th. CUNY shared their “concerns” about it on the 24th & is preparing to make another counteroffer on the issue. On the 19th, the PSC presented a revised proposal on CLT promotional opportunities & on the 24th, we returned to two demands that are critical to our members, supplemental reassigned time for research for post-tenure faculty, & remote work for professional staff & faculty librarians.

REAL RAISES NOW! hero slider for October 21

Real Raises Now!

Protest the CUNY Trustees Hearing on October 21 at John Jay College. CUNY’s negotiators have made no improvement to their economic offer since March. There can be no business as usual for CUNY management until we get a fair offer. Join us at 4pm for the Hearing or 5pm for the Protest.

RSVP for October 21.
The unionized faculty and staff of the City University of New York represented by the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) organized an informational picket line outside CUNY Headquarters in Manhattan before the September 24th bargaining session at CUNY to raise awareness about management’s failure to agree to a fair contract with real raises.
