(Wed. 4/18, Thurs. 4/26, Wed. 5/2) Negotiations: Let’s keep it up!

(Wed. 4/18, Thurs. 4/26, Wed. 5/2) Open negs, Board meeting, & Rally: Help keep the momentum going

Last week over 120 union members packed Wednesday’s negotiations session. And many faculty who were not able to attend took photos in solidarity and sent them to our team. As a result the District committed to providing a written response to AFT’s salary and workload proposals. Let’s continue to show the District that we expect them to follow through on the promises they have been making to our Bargaining Team. Together we are strong.

What’s next? Stand with our Bargaining Team and help keep the momentum going by taking at least one of these actions:

Participate in Open negotiations sessions happening every Wednesday between 1pm-5pm, MUB 238. Ground rules for observers of open negotiations

Come out on Thursday, April 26, to the Board of Trustees meeting
— 3:30pm, Teach-in (room TBA) on how our proposal will help to protect educational quality and student learning conditions.
— 4:00pm, Public Comment (MUB 140) to the Board of Trustees. The Board must approve our contract, so showing up is crucial! Wear your union T-shirt.

Rally with us on Wednesday, May 2, Rally at Ocean campus
— 12pm, Rally at Ram Plaza
— 12:45pm, March together to Open Negotiations

Sponsor a Teach-in by a Bargaining Team Member at your department in preparation for the 4/26 Board meeting. Contact Athena Waid at 415-585-2121 to set it up.

Wear your AFT 2121 t-shirt or button every Wednesday (or any day!) until we have a contract. If you’re able to we ask that you come together in unity on Wednesdays with your AFT-2121 t-shirts or buttons, take a solidarity photo, and send photos to organizer Athena Waid (awaid@aft2121.org).

Re-commit to our Union this semester by signing our new membership form — with its loud, proud commitment to “stick with our union” for a full calendar year.
