NYSUT DIRECTORS TO SPEAK; CCC WORKERS, COMMUNITY EDUCATORS CALL FOR ADMINISTRATION TO RESPECT EMPLOYEES AND PRIORITIZE LEARNING

Corning/Elmira, NY, September 16, 2016– Corning Community College has been recognized as the best community college in the state and as one of the finest in the country. This excellence is thanks in no small measure to its faculty, renowned for accomplishments in their disciplines and for their tireless commitment to students, the college, and their community.

Colleagues,

1) Respect the Contract – Yesterday, President Abeigon sent out a notice to all school staff about upcoming “contract actions.”   Please review that email.  More information will be coming after Monday’s Building Rep Meeting.

2) Election Day - We have been receiving numerous calls regarding this coming presidential election day, Tuesday, Nov 8th. Here is the law regarding that day:

The Louisiana Federation of Teachers is urging voters to support Constitutional Amendment #3, an important part of the state legislature’s effort to fix the budget, when they go to the polls on November 8.

The Detroit Federation of Teachers has voted to ratify a new contract agreement. While the contract is far from perfect, the ratification is a significant step in the right direction for our members and our school district. Our fight forward begins now.

Please find some basic points about the FTL Tentative Bargaining Agreement here and the copy of the tentative agreement here.
