Philly Adjuncts Urge Pittsburgh Adjuncts to join the AFT

                                         

Over a dozen adjuncts in Philadelphia who teach at Temple University as well as several other Philadelphia-area colleges and universities congratulate CCAC Adjuncts United for organizing for a union vote. Whereas Temple University has spent several months and tens of thousands of dollars trying to thwart adjuncts from voting for a union, CCAC adjuncts are taking this important step towards meaningful voice over their jobs. Congratulations! Vote!

Why I Want A Union: Eric Hahn

Art Department - Allegheny Campus

“I believe that a union of college faculty has multiple benefits, not only for those who teach but also for students and the entire school. High rates of job turnover among part time faculty create chaos for administration as well as students. The uncertainty of steady employment discourages many highly qualified instructors from seeking jobs here. A unified voice of those on the front lines of education would greatly improve the discourse between the decision makers and the people who truly work with the students in the classroom.”
