Blog post on impasse in Montgomery College negotations

Thanks to Anne McLeer, SEIU Local 500, Director of Research/Strategic Planning, for permission to cross post from adj-l. There’s a lot going on in the “adjunctverse” these days ~ CHE surveys, Southwestern College shenanigans, Akron U imposing DNA sampling, AAUP & AFT “conversion” proposals, California budget woes ~ more than I can keep up with so any help readers can offer is more than welcome.

Part-time faculty at Montgomery College Maryland have declared impasse in their negotiations with the College over the issue of pay raises. Here is a link to an excellent blog on the subject by Maryland political blogger Adam Pagnucco. Please read the blog and comment.
