AFT 2121 Delegate Assembly to take up Union finances and possible dues increase

Since 2012/13, owing to depressed faculty salaries, Local 2121 has deferred passing on increases in affiliation fees from CFT/AFT in the form of higher dues deduction. Moreover, the Local has continued to invest its limited resources in a high level of organizing in support of the successful contract campaign, the battle for fair accreditation, and initiatives to garner funding for City College and to revive enrollment, e.g. free tuition for SF residents. As a result, Union reserves have diminished dramatically. We need to start discussing the impact on AFT 2121 finances and the possibility of increasing dues.
