Chancellor Martin is Refusing to Set Bargaining Dates with Faculty

City College is a gem of San Francisco’s public education system, and everyday we as faculty show up and work hard to serve our students and fulfill our mission. However:

• For over two years, we have been without a raise, while living in a time of record inflation and in one of the most expensive regions in the country.

• Full and Part Time faculty layoffs have led to the untenable overwork of Full Time faculty, many of whom are holding understaffed programs together. More competitive salaries and better staffing would help address this issue.

• Despite all of these problems, we remain dedicated to our students and our mission. But the truth is we deserve better–Chancellor Martin owes us the respect of good faith negotiations for a fair contract and more competitive salaries right now.

Your AFT 2121 Bargaining Team is sorry to report that this is not happening. We have made multiple requests for new bargaining dates to continue negotiations for your new contract, and Chancellor Martin and his team are refusing to respond.

City College faculty cannot achieve a fair contract and more competitive salaries until Chancellor Martin decides to break his silence and show up for good faith negotiations with our AFT 2121 Bargaining Team. Talk to the AFT precinct representative and/or faculty organizer in your department about taking action to support the fight for your new contract. See here for a summary of negotiations so far.
