EMU has committed to exploration of some potential alternatives to the current pay schedule that has been so problematic for many Part-Time Lecturers.

This Saturday, April 23, 2016, we will hold a Praxis SLLA Educational Leadership Workshop at Louisiana State University for anyone who plans to take the assessment as part of the requirements for school leadership/administrator certification. We will also hold a Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching Exam Workshop for anyone who plans to take the PLT exam as part of the requirements for certification. 

Keeping Current

Several members enjoyed our first Spring Fling on March 12. We had guests, good food, and a good time getting to talk with each other. Those who attended signed a recommitment to their union. Everyone was given an insulated lunch bag with the TFP logo and words, "We Make a Difference Every Day." Check out photos from the event.

Here are the minutes from the 4/15/16 CCCFT Steering Committee meeting:

We attended a meeting today and this giveaway was shared with us.  We were told that the proceeds will be used to fund McNeese Scholarships… athletic and academic.  Everyone in attendance was asked to share the information.  We think it is a great cause and wanted you to all be aware of the opportunity.

The semester may be drawing to a close, but there’s a lot going on here with EMUFT. As we move toward summer, there are many opportunities to be involved. This email contains updates on a few key issues. Contact EMUFT President Lisa Laverty or EMUFT Staff Organizer, Tim Allen, for more information on these and other issues, and for ways that you can be active in your union:
