Five years without a contractual raise and four without a contract is absurd, insulting and destructive. CUNY management’s failure to deliver on a contract hurts CUNY students, too, by damaging the University’s competitiveness and stalling progress on changes that would protect the quality of education. We may need the whole community in this fight; it’s time to take our message directly to students. Starting April 16, the day of an upcoming negotiating session, faculty and staff will be wearing t-shirts that say, “Five Years without a Contract Hurts CUNY Students’’—and on the back: “Ask Me Why.” Sign up here to join them and make a commitment to wear a t-shirt in class/at work.
