Unemployment Bill

Dear Fellow Adjunct Faculty Members,

For several years, our union, United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey,  has been attempting to make it easier (or at least possible) for us to collect unemployment compensation when we are not working.  We now have bills in committee in both the NJ Assembly and Senate.   We urge you to contact your state representatives and the chairs of the Higher Education committees in the two houses of the NJ legislature.  Email addresses are shown in this forwarded email from the secretary of our state affiliate.

Do yourself a favor and send an email now!

Karen Feldman and Robert Hammond
Co-chairs, Camden Co Chapter, UAFNJ

Subject: Unemployment bill


Good evening,

I am happy to report that our Unemployment bill, that can hopefully help adjunct faculty collect during the Summer, has been submitted to committees in both house of the NJ legislature. We need to get the bills on the floor for a vote. The bills are identical.

We need to begin an e-mail campaign to the Chairs of the respective higher ed committees (Asw Mila Jasey in the Assembly--AswJasey@njleg.org<mailto:Assembly--AswJasey@njleg.org>

and Sen Cunningham in the Senate--SenCunningham@njleg.org<mailto:Senate--SenCunningham@njleg.org> ) asking for A-2718 and S-801 to be scheduled for a vote. The more emails sent the better chance of the bills being posted. They should be separate emails with the bill number indicated.

Please spread this to as many adjunct faculty, members and potential members, so we can get the bills posted. Once we have a date for the vote I will inform you so you can ask your people to contact their assemblymen(women) and senators and ask them to support it.

Thanks and please get the word out there.

CCC Local United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey AFT #2222

 

This is the AFT website for the adjunct union chapter at Camden County College campuses in Blackwood, Camden and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. We are the CCC chapter of United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey AFT #2222. Our original union, Camden County College Adjunct Faculty Federation (CCCAFF), was founded in 1995 to represent the economic, social and professional interests of part-time contingent faculty. It is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the international union of the AFL-CIO. In 2009, the NJ AFT community college locals voted to join together to form a super local called United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey (UAFNJ). The Camden County Chapter of UAFNJ will continue to maintain local autonomy in dealing with the College. At the moment, including the members from Camden County College, the nine member chapters have more than 3000 members in UAFNJ.

In defense of public education

Randi Weingarten and NYC teacher Tamara Simpson

Attacks on public education in America by extremists and culture-war peddling politicians have reached new heights (“lows” may be more apt), but they are not new. The difference today is that the attacks are intended not just to undermine public education but to destroy it.
