(Wed. 9/19 thru Sat. 9/22) Building our power: Membership drive
Building our power is the best remedy for feeling overwhelmed in these intense political times. As always, the most important tool we have is our ability to talk to each other. We have to reach out to our colleagues, listen to each others’ ideas, show up for each other and move forward together. We have to stick with our Union. With that in mind we are doing an Ocean Campus Membership Drive this week. To help:
If you would like to attend a training there are two short trainings today:
- NOTE LOCATION CHANGE – AFT 2121 Office from 12-1pm (311 Miramar Ave. @ Ocean)
- Evans Campus (room 256) from 4:15-5pm
To keep our Union strong we need all of our colleagues to join us. House visits over the Summer were a huge success. Now we need to keep the momentum going!

AFT 2121 makes class cuts info request
The main focus of AFT’s regular consultation with the District this Monday was class cuts. The District administration attempted to describe their plan and rationale for class cuts and scheduling which resulted in more questions than answers.
The District asserts that the cuts and reductions should be viewed as a reallocation of resources and expressed a desire to create a “model schedule” for Spring of 2019 which does not require any cuts because “productivity and efficiency” will be built in. AFT pushed back seeking additional information about the process used to arrive at this “model schedule” and these programmatic goals and budgets. The District’s subsequent inability to clearly articulate their process raises serious concerns. AFT has made a formal information request to gain clarity and transparency from the District about how our college community and vital stakeholders have been engaged in these important decisions about the future of our college.
Know your rights survey
Our AFT 2121 member Tenaya Lafore has asked for help with finding out what kind of interest there is among CCSF faculty in “Know Your Rights” workshops about your rights as employees of CCSF. This survey is confidential. Newer faculty, faculty of color, and part-time faculty are encouraged to participate.

AFT 2121 Flex Day meetings
The Flex Day reporting page on Web4 has finally been corrected. Four workshops, including two AFT 2121 events, were missing from the reporting page. They’re now there, and you can report your flex activities.
However, they’re listed as if they happened on 8/31. Don’t let the date confuse you — go ahead and report the workshops and meetings you attended.
Flex requirements for faculty working part-time have changed with this contract. Administration has not updated the CCSF website or the Web4 flex summary to reflect the change. Please see
https://www.aft2121.org/flex/ for the correct requirements.
