BAck-To-School Bargaining FAQs #5

What can AAFMCC Members do to support our contract campaign?

• Work with our organizer Nicholas to participate in activities/events that support our cause and the bargaining team as we continue to work hard to secure a fair and equitable contract for adjunct teachers.
• Stay in the loop. Regularly visit our bargaining blog and read AAFMCC communications so that when people ask what’s going on, you can provide accurate information.
• AAFMCC needs allies! Look for opportunities to raise awareness about adjunct working conditions at Macomb and about our contract campaign. Talk to colleagues, students, and friends. The more support and publicity we build for our cause, the better.
• ​Sign up to attend a bargaining session so that you can be informed and show support.
• Be patient and understanding. Bargaining is a long, grueling back-and-forth process.  AAFMCC is a young union (MCC adjuncts have only been unionized since 2003), and this will only be our fourth contract. The contract needs a lot of work. Our working conditions need a lot of improvements. These kinds of changes don’t happen in a few bargaining sessions or even through one contract campaign. ​ ​
