Our Union Observer Grievance:
Dear Members,
The Union was originally denied the opportunity to appoint an observer to the Data Committee, which is now comprised of rpk GROUP consultants, NJCU administrators, and Senate appointees. The State contract gives the Union locals the right to appoint observers to college-wide committees, and Bill Calathes, the Local’s grievance chair, initiated a grievance. An Agreement has been signed that permits the appointment of an observer and alternate to the Data Committee. The Union is also appointing an observer and alternate to the Steering Committee which is also comprised of rpk GROUP consultants, NJCU administrators, and Senate appointees.

Labor Must Take on Capital
Unions must expand beyond narrow bargaining to challenge those who hold wealth and power at the highest levels. by Saqib Bhatti & Stephen Lerner (READ...)
Affordable Care Act
President Bill Calathes would like you to see the following correspondence provided by CNJSCL President Tim Haresign regarding current AFT policy on the Affordable Care Act. As you can see, much needs to be worked out specifically regarding our understanding and implementation of this very important piece of legislation. Rest assured, that this work will be carried out thoroughly. Tim Haresign stated:
“The issue of how adjunct work hours will be calculated for this remains unresolved. I'm not sure at this point if we have agreement among ourselves as to how we would like to see the hours calculated. We will need to decide this first and then develop a strategy (hopefully working with NJAFT) to get our preferred rules implemented.“

Higher union membership strengthens our position at both statewide and local bargaining tables. More members mean a better contract and less chance of a strike.
