(9/10, 10am) Reminder: Evaluations listening session

The District is moving forward with faculty evaluations as if times are normal — there is no pandemic, we are meeting in-person and everyone – students and faculty – smoothly transitioned into the current educational paradigm. But, in fact, nothing is normal.

Join us for our next listening session on Thursday, September 10th @ 10am where we will be discussing the realities of delivering instruction, counseling, and library services and developing our collective vision of faculty evaluations during a global public health crisis.

Support Macy’s workers on strike now!

Thank you to all who came out to various Labor Day Actions! It was a great success with 500 folks out on the street calling out bad corporate actors. Check out some of the coverage here.

Now we are joining the SF labor council in putting out the call for volunteers to attend a shift on the picket line at Macy’s in support of Stationary Engineers 39. They are on an open-ended strike and need our support. While the CEO of Macy’s received a $9 million bonus, the Stationary Engineers at Macy’s are being paid 20% below market rate and being asked to pay more for their healthcare costs. Join them on the picket line from 11 AM to 7 PM at Macy’s in Union Square every day until the strike is over.

Free legal assistance for Union Workers

The Justice and Diversity Center (JDC) of the Bar Association of San Francisco (BASF), is providing opportunities for union members to receive free legal aid in the fight against COVID-19. They are offering essential planning assistance to front-line workers free of charge during the COVID-19 pandemic, including (1) Incapacity Planning and (2) Estate Planning.

Incapacity planning involves preparation of a financial power of attorney and an advance healthcare directive, and ensures that should one of your members be incapacitated, their financial, medical, and personal matters will be handled in accordance with their wishes.

Estate planning involves assistance with a will and/or trust to bring much-needed clarity on what should be done in the event of one’s passing away.
