Bargaining Update #8

The union objected to another set of misleading salary comparisons presented by management. We continued to argue that current CUNY salaries fail to recognize the value of our work & the expense of living and working in the city. CUNY management responded to the PSC’s proposal on multi-year appointments for long-serving teaching adjuncts. Then the PSC proposed modifications to the contract to better protect the health & safety of our members & students.

New CUNY SLU report on US unions

Unionization surges in higher ed

Organizing in higher education is nothing new, but a new study by the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies (SLU) shows recent upsurges in unionization, following both the Great Recession and the pandemic. The uptick is mostly attributed to an increase in organizing by graduate student workers and contingent faculty.

Consider donating to the Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank

Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank is a pool of voluntarily donated sick leave and annual leave available for potential use as sick leave by all annual full-time employees at CUNY who are also donors to the bank. Workers must donate leave in a program year to be eligible to receive leave in that year (up to 90 days).
