DOZENS OF CUNY FACULTY IN PROTEST HEAD TO JAIL v. SCHOOL with Barbara Bowen, President, Professional Staff Congress/CUNY and protesting workers
CUNY Needs A Raise, Stop the War on CUNY, No More Excuses Chancellor Milliken"
Several dozen City University of New York faculty members were arrested in the latest of a series of escalating protests as part of a demand for salary increases. CUNY s roughly 25,000 faculty and professional staff members have been without a contract since 2010 and have had no salary increases in that time. Just before the civil disobedience occurred and after an announcement of a strike authorization vote the CUNY Administration finally put an offer on the table, but the Professional Staff Congress, which represents the workers vows to keep the pressure on as the proposal falls far short of what is needed to pay staff decently for the important work they do. Chancellor Milliken's offer represents a failure on CUNY management's part to secure sufficient investment by Gov. Cuomo/New York State in the people who make college education possible for half a million working New Yorkers, for the immigrants and people of color of this city.
