Halloween Action

The Queens College PSC-CUNY Chapter is having a Halloween action on Wednesday, October 30th and Thursday, October 31st on the Queens College quad. 

We will hand out candy as well as “Trick or Treat” flyers that summarize contract bargaining to date: “tricks” are management’s positions and “treats” are ours. We will also ask faculty, students, and staff to fill out orange index cards, answering the question: “What scares you about Queens College?”

We need volunteers for this spooky action! Please sign-up to help here!

PICKET CUNY MANAGEMENT!

CUNY’s negotiators have failed to improve on their economic offer since March. We’ll be gathering in November in borough-based groups outside CUNY Central every week to make sure they can’t ignore our calls for a fair contract now! More information and RSVP.
February 29 Informational Picket on QC Campus

 

Join us Thursday 1/25 as we take action to reverse the layoffs and resist austerity!

If you can be there, RSVP here.

Instead of resisting CUNY’s unjustified demand for budget cuts, Queens College administration decided to lay off 26 full time Queens College faculty, just weeks before the semester! These sudden and cruel layoffs deeply hurt faculty’s livelihoods, and in some cases take away their healthcare benefits. The administration’s brutal conduct affected hundreds of students and instructors, and dramatically cut course offerings at the college. You can read more about the layoffs on our press page.

Join us on Thursday, January 25, to demand that Queens College reverse these outrageous layoffs:
At 9 AM meet us in the Music building to distribute flyers informing the Queens College community about these cuts!
At 12 PM meet us in front of Kiely Hall, to protest the layoffs and the budget cuts that destroy our college.

Can’t join in person? Send the administration a letter directly by signing here: https://psc-cuny.org/about-us/queens-college/tell-president-frank-wu-to-rehire-our-26-queens-colleagues/. Let’s flood their inboxes with letters demanding that these cuts be reversed.

Help us spread the word by sharing our open letter with friends, colleagues, and with your social media networks!
