All members are expected to treat each other with dignity, courtesy and respect at all times.

The 2023 Unsung Heroes Award Program
The Unsung Heroes Awards Program annually recognizes CUNY College Laboratory Technicians (CLTs) who have positively influenced a department, program, college or organization from behind the scenes with a positive attitude, willingness to help in whatever capacity necessary, and a commitment to excellence. This is the award that exemplifies the spirit of the profession. The recipient is a person who, through their hard work and selflessness, goes above and beyond what is asked of them. The Unsung Hero is that person that does the thankless jobs to ensure that the students and their co-workers receive the service and support they deserve.
An awards committee reviewed all nominations and selected the winners. The Unsung Heroes Awards were honored at the Annual CLT Unity Day event the evening of Monday, June 6. This year’s unity theme is “Unsung Heroes: Celebrating and Appreciating Those at CUNY.”

The current handbook (4th edition) has multiple purposes:
- To serve as a compendium of College Laboratory Technicians’ rights and responsibilities
- To familiarize newly appointed CLTs with the procedures for appointment, reappointment, promotion and other contractual protections.
- To invite CLTs to contact the chapter officers for advice and help.
This handbook is not an official document, but a simplified guide to your contractual rights under the PSC-CUNY agreement as seen by the PSC.
The official documents to consult are the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees of CUNY, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the PSC and CUNY (the contract), the written policies of the Board of Trustees, and your college governance document. There are also arbitration awards and grievance decisions in which contractual rights and responsibilities have been delineated.
