Update from AFT-Oregon

  • Thanks to Rob Wagner, Government Relations Director of AFT-Oregon, for the work on the proclamation.
     
  • Our state AFL-CIO convention today endorsed a resolution directing the AFL-CIO to seek a modification in the Oregon Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act making staffing Levels a mandatory subject of bargaining (it currently is a permissive subject). In the context of the committee debate on the issue, several higher ed representatives referenced CEW.
     
  • I've scheduled time on the agenda of our college Board of Directors at their October monthly meeting (this Thursday, Oct. 20) to discuss Equity Week issues and the challenges created by our declining FT/PT ratio. We'll be hearing testimony from a number of part-timers, full-timers, and students.
     
  • On Friday, Oct. 21, [as the faculty representative] I'll be discussing CEW with the Oregon State Board of Education at their monthly CC meeting.
