CCSF has an ethical imperative to extend healthcare for recently laid off faculty!
Last Wednesday our District Bargaining Team made it clear that they weren’t interested in engaging in any real negotiations around extending healthcare benefits to laid off faculty, and at today’s session they confirmed that approach by once again rejecting nearly all of our union’s proposals. We believe the college has an ethical obligation to extend this important benefit to faculty who have faithfully served the college, especially in the middle of a pandemic. If you agree, please sign on to our email campaign to take the issue directly to the CCSF Board of Trustees and consider making a public comment at the Board of Trustees meeting this Thursday, 6/23, starting at 3:30PM.
Here is the link to sign on and share.
Celebrate Pride with Students and Union Allies!
The San Mateo Community College Federation of Teachers has invited AFT 2121 members, students, and allies to join in an education and labor celebration of SF Pride. Join us for the Trans March, Dyke March, and/or People’s March. At all these events, we will be standing with our LGBTQIA2+ community & our labor allies and students, while also gathering signatures to support our college. Join us & spread the word: bit.ly/AFTpridesignup
The organizers write, “Over the years, the popular SF Pride Parade has become increasingly corporatized and more heavily policed. The LGBTQIA2+ community has expressed growing concern over these developments, which displace important histories of activism—specifically organizing by Black/Brown/Indigenous Trans and Queer folks—and contribute to the violence of all kinds that targets these communities and that many of us seek to overturn. We are joining together as local union activists with our students, our families, our friends, and our accomplices to show our solidarity with LGBTQ+ justice in three marches this summer, happening the weekend of 6/26.
