End of Year AFT PARTY this Friday May 17 from 4-6:30pm at Pierre Coste!
All faculty are encouraged to attend AFT 2121’s end of year party and celebration this Friday May 17, from 4-6:30pm, at Pierre Coste.
This party will be a celebration of summer and of the power of collective action. While we didn’t win everything we wanted this year, we made significant progress and that was only possible because we stood together. From restoring our salaries for 21-22 to winning significant raises to expanding faculty health care, we fought for a stronger City College for the good of our students and city.
Let’s celebrate that Friday May 17 at Pierre Coste 4-6:30pm. All faculty are welcome.

Unemployment: Summer Benefits & CFT Workshop
Part-time faculty who don’t have summer assignments or sufficient income from other work are entitled to unemployment benefits over summer break. Even if you’re pretty sure you’ll have an assignment in Fall, you are still eligible. You’re considered unemployed until that assignment actually starts, since the assignment isn’t guaranteed.
Apply as soon as possible on or after your last day of work. Your application is retroactive only to the Sunday of the week in which you apply. For faculty who have semester-long assignments, the last day is officially May 22nd, even if that doesn’t match our actual work dates.
When you apply for benefits, you must report your earnings. Web4 paystubs still list hours and hourly rates, but those rates are misleading. You were not paid hourly, except for subbing and office hours.
For detailed information about how to calculate your earnings and apply for unemployment, see the AFT 2121 unemployment page.
CFT is hosting a free workshop with CFT Vice-President John Govsky to
guide contingent faculty (called “part-time” at CCSF) through the online unemployment filing process. Topics include new and reopened claims, phone interviews, denials, and appeals. Open to all contingent (part-time) faculty who are CFT members.

Show your Solidarity with the Committee of Interns and Residents CIR/SEIU Healthcare
In December 2023, the CIR SEIU presented comprehensive proposals covering wages, sick leave, fertility benefits, vacation, and holidays. However, CIR SEIU has yet to receive any response from Sutter. Sutter’s prolonged delays and disrespectful behavior during bargaining sessions have left hard-working residents feeling disheartened and powerless. AFT 2121 members understand that treatment all too well. We also know how important it is to come together and stand up for yourself as one.
Come and show your support and solidarity for San Francisco’s hard working medical residents!
