Union Week 2024!

Union Week, Monday, September, 23 – Friday, September 27, will be an all-out, CUNY-wide push to demand a Contract for #APeoplesCUNY and support union organizing to protect our rights and the environment. Make a plan to be part of the action.

All Week

Pick up Signs and Buttons

Contact your PSC chapter chair or stop at a PSC table organized by your campus chapter to pick up a Union Proud button and a Contract for #APeoplesCUNY sign for your office door/workspace. 

Monday, September 23

Review Your Personnel File

CUNY faculty and staff should review their personal personnel file at least once a year, and our contract gives you the right to do so. Decisions about things like reappointment, promotion, certification and tenure are made, in part, based on the contents of your personal personnel file. So, it’s crucial that you ensure the file is up to date and accurate. Learn more about exercising this important right here in the PSC’s newspaper, Clarion

Tuesday, Sept. 24th, 12:45 PM

Contract Now! Informational Picket

Stand in Solidarity, Supporting Our Bargaining Team

CUNY Central, 205 E. 42nd Street

Arrive 12:45, Bargaining Team enter CUNY Central at 1:30PM

CUNY management still refuses to offer fair pay increases or appropriate job security to PSC/CUNY members, even after more than a year of bargaining. The CUNY community and people of New York need to know about management’s failure to make us the offer we deserve. Sign up here to walk in a lunch-hour Contract Now! informational picket line before the September 24th bargaining session at CUNY Central.  Hit the button to let us know you will be there to show CUNY we demand a better offer!

Sign up here to register to join us on the picket line on Sept 24!

Wednesday, Sept. 25th

New Member Meet-Up at the Union Hall

Come join an in-person orientation to your union and union organizing hosted by the PSC’s One-on-One Organizing Committee the evening of Wednesday, September 25th (6-8pm).

RSVP to learn about our union, meet new people, get some PSC swag, and have fun!

Thursday, Sept. 26th

Take the PSC’s Brightspace Survey

Complete the PSC survey about your experience learning Brightspace right now, then please support our extra effort during Union Week to increase participation in the survey. The union believes that CUNY has violated our contract by failing to provide compensation for many PSC members’ Brightspace training. We argue in a recently filed grievance that members who have been spending time to train themselves in the new learning management system, as well as to convert their courses to Brightspace, should be compensated.  Taking the survey will assist us in developing this grievance.

All Week

Participate in Chapter Events

Union Week will be full of opportunities to get involved with your local chapter! Keep an eye on your email inbox, PSC social media accounts, and around your campus or worksite for upcoming events near you. Chapters will hold regular meetings, Decarbonize CUNY town halls, tabling events to promote union membership and engagement, and more!

All Week

Attend A Decarbonize CUNY Town Hall

There will be FIVE “Decarbonize CUNY” town halls in four boroughs during Union Week. Click here to find an event near you and for more information on the campaign to decarbonize CUNY and make our energy system public and sustainable.
