Nov 19, 9 am-1 pm at SEIU; 1800 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Click here for map

Learn how part-time faculty at higher education institutions across the country are joining together to improve their jobs and the education their students receive at SEIU's second annual forum on part-time faculty unions. Our contributions in and out of the classroom have value regardless of our tenure status, say event organizers. All professors need wages that reflect that value, access to benefits, job security, not to mention a voice in the policies that affect our students and our working conditions. 

Please join us to learn how others are making it happen. The forum is free and includes a catered breakfast.
