Dear faculty colleagues,

We’re on Day 2 of our factfinding hearing.  We’ve made a strong case as to why the District should accept our proposals to pay faculty fairly, provide equal pay for equal work, and on Academic Freedom.  We were at the District office past 8pm last night, and could stay that long again tonight.

Below is a picture from yesterday.  We’ll update you when we have something more to report!

In Solidarity,

Chet Lexvold

AFT 1493 Executive Director
