Ali Arid
A union will use its bargaining power to get better contracts for part-time faculty and fair treatment.”
Ali Arid, Math

Jane Rekedal
Part time faculty offer the same level of expertise and teaching excellence as full-time faculty, and yet we do it at 56 percent of the pay and without benefits. A union will serve us and the students by improving this situation.”
Jane Rekedal, Art

Art College
It's the only fair and equitable way that part-timers can be recognized for the contributions that we make to the college. Certainly there should a reasonable and equitable structure, and representation for part-timers, that doesn't exist now. It's the trend across the state from what I can see.”
Art College, Accounting

Matt Johnston
It's critical that part-timers have a say in their pay and working conditions and that can only happen when we join the existing union and make ourselves heard.”
Matt Johnston, Philosophy
