GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

Many thanks to all who attended yesterday's general membership meeting and to those who called to let me know you could not attend because of class, labs, or clinics.

The Communicator was distributed as well as other informational handouts. If someone from your department attended, they will be bringing back that information for distribution. The remaining Communicators will be delivered to campus mailboxes.

The discussion was helpful to everyone including the negotiating team. One main thing that people wanted to know was what could they do. The best thing you can do is to continue to perform your professional duties in your normal professional manner. While being at impasse is very hard on morale, I would encourage each of you to continue to step up to that challenge and not let that be a stumbling block to your service to your students and the College.

What else can you do?

  • You have the right to contact the Board of Trustees and make them aware of your position. (See earlier postings for names and addresses of BOT members.)
  • You have the right to attend the Board of Trustees' meeting this coming Tuesday, November 18 at 5:30pm in the District Board of Trustees' room in Bldg. 7.
  • You have the right to express your opinions to the local media.
  • You have the right to express your opinion to those you come in contact with daily.
  • You have the right to wear your UFF/FEA lapel pin or your UFF shirt showing your support of PJCFA during these times.

You have these rights and you deserve what's right - not what's left.


If you do not have a lapel pin or shirt, please contact Cindy App, capp@pjc.edu or x1462.
