FROM THE DESK OF PRESIDENT DEB PETERSON

MARCH/APRIL 2015

Maryland's public schools are under attack. 
Don't Shortchange Maryland Education!

Join us in Annapolis, Monday, March 9th, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.
Meet at the House of Delegates in the Canteen,
6 Bladen St., Annapolis, 1st floor.

• Say NO to funding cuts to Maryland Public Education.
• Say NO to Governor Hogan's Charter Expansion bill, which would undermine teachers' rights, remove essential oversight, and lower the quality of education in Maryland charter schools.
• Say NO to the rising cost of higher education in Maryland.

Gov. Hogan’s $144 million in school funding cuts threaten the progress of our top-notch public schools, slashing an average of $3,600 from every classroom and $100,000 from every school. We can’t let these cuts challenge our students’ success.

CFT/CFOP Office hours are:

School Year (2 weeks before & 2 weeks after) 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Mon - Thurs. 8:00 am - 4:00 pm on Fridays.

Summer & Winter Break - 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.

Who are the United Academics of Ohio?

We are contingent faculty—fulltime and part-time – throughout Ohio, committed to winning job security, fair pay, benefits and a respected voice on campus, as well as creating a vibrate community of peers connected through the work of teaching, not bound by the institutions we may teach at this semester. We believe unionizing is the best way to achieve these goals

Scores of AFT-Wisconsin members joined thousands of union members and community supporters at the state Capitol earlier this week to rally against Governor Scott Walker's latest attack on working Wisconsinites.  As the fight against so-called "right to work" continues, we'll be rallying at the Capitol again on Saturday, Feb. 28.  Join us on the State St. side of the Capitol square at noon to stand up for workers' rights!  Buses will be leaving from across Wisconsin on Saturday morning - click "more" for a full schedule.
