Time to Show You’re Strike Ready

Chancellor Martin’s email yesterday was a slap in the face. See the following chart for the full impact of his proposed layoffs, which would be an enormous blow to our students and our programs. After last year’s layoff threat and the concessions you took to defend our students and college, you deserve so much better. Many of us are hurting right now, and with good reason. But remember: we have the power to stop the downsizing of our college and public education when we stand together.

You have 3 months to fight back and move at least 4 Trustees to reject David Martin’s layoff proposal before the May 15 deadline.

What’s your next step? To get strike ready. It’s time to show Chancellor Martin’s bosses, the CCSF Trustees, that you as a faculty stand united behind the fight for your jobs, your students, and your college. That means demonstrating you have a supermajority of colleagues ready to act in unison. Your Photo Petition last semester had 50% faculty participation. It’s time to raise that to 70-80% to show that you have the power necessary to defend your college.

Take action right now:

Reply ‘yes’ to this email to RSVP for Phone Banking your colleagues tmrw Friday, 4-6pm, on Zoom, & help ensure everyone is signed on to your No Layoffs Card. Here’s the Zoom link for the Phone Bank.

Your union will be printing one card per faculty signature and delivering all of them en masse to the Trustees on Feb 14. Reply to this email if you’re interested in joining for the delivery, and help make the delivery a success by signing your No Layoffs card and encouraging all of your colleagues to do the same!
