What time?      4:30-6:30/7 (come when you can)
Where?             MCC Center Campus
                            Outside the Center for The Performing Arts/Lorenzo
                            Cultural Center  
                           Meet in the Southeast Corner of Parking Lot 4 (the lot
                           directly in front of the Performing Arts/Cultural Center

Who will be picketing?              

• YOU and Your Fellow MCC Adjuncts
• President of AFT Michigan David Hecker, MCC Board of Trustees Candidate Eugene Groesbeck, supporters from other union locals across the state, community allies, spouses/partners, family members, and friends.
• WHOEVER ELSE YOU BRING ALONG WITH YOU TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH AAFMCC!

      (The more people the better!  EVERYONE is welcome!)
 
 
Why are we picketing?
We want to bring attention to what’s been happening at the bargaining table.
More specifically, we are responding to what happened at yesterday’s bargaining session:

• MCC refused to budge on the EAT issue (currently 176 of our members don’t have availability or seniority rights and receive their course assignments 72 hours before the start of the semester)
• MCC made no movement on salary (and a $48-per-credit-hour raise over the course of 3 years is insulting and disrespectful).

 
If you care, if you are concerned, if you support equity, improved working conditions, and a decent living wage for yourself and your adjunct colleagues, then SHOW UP AT THE PICKET TODAY!
If you plan to attend please register so we can get an accurate count of attendees:
