"Being part of the union, and now a member of the executive board, gives me a different manner in which to involve members and to interact with other members of faculty and administration. My goal, as well as the goal of the AAFMCC Executive Board, is to create a more equitable position financially and in governance, for the adjunct faculty within the college.

"I first got involved with AAFMCC (originally MCAFA) in 2004 when I found I was in need of union protection.  Fortunately, the MCC adjuncts had just voted to organize with the Michigan Education Association.  Grateful for the help I’d received, I believed that I should give something back, so I volunteered for the union’s first bargaining team. The rest is history (pardon the pun)."

"As a historian, I have an acute awareness of the need for unions and the protections they provide in the workplace.  I tell my students that unions guarantee our rights in the workplace just as the Bill of Rights guarantees them in our civil society.  They’re always there, but you don’t need them until you need them.  Unions bring democracy to the workplace."
