Our campaign to Fix Tier 2 continues to build. But we've got to intensify our efforts right now. When the General Assembly returns on Jan. 2, we’re pushing for a vote on the Fair Retirement and Recruitment Act right away. That’s why it’s critical lawmakers hear from us right now.
CCCLOC: We're ready to bargain!
@ChiCityColleges: Need more time.
CCCLOC: It's been an hour, let's bargain.
CCC: Be with you soon.
CCCLOC: Bargain??
CCC: Nope.
CCCLOC: You've kept us waiting an hour & 45 min!
CCC: Just wait a little longer...
How about you respect your faculty?
Adult educators in AFSCME Local 3506 in the City Colleges of Chicago teach English as a Second Language and help adult students complete their GEDs. But the programs are suffering from a lack of investment—and adult educators and students are both paying the price.
Local 3506—joined by some of their students and AFSCME Council 31 staff—took to the picket line today to make sure CCC administration gets the message: It’s time to fund adult education. It’s time for City Colleges to agree to a fair contract now.
