Adjunct Faculty United (AFT 6106 – AdFac), a union of adjunct faculty in the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD), asks for solidarity in their fight for fair wages and benefits for adjunct faculty.
NOCCCD has not agreed to AdFac’s proposal for healthcare. Under new state law, it would cost the district nothing to provide adjunct workers with the same healthcare benefits they provide to full-time faculty. AdFac is calling for:
- Full healthcare benefits for those who work a 40% load. This means access to the same family medical benefits as full-time faculty.
- Full healthcare benefits for those who work in multiple districts.
How you can help AdFac win:
- In the Anaheim, CA area? Attend the “Rally for Healthcare Benefits for all Adjunct Faculty” on Tuesday, March 14 at 5pm PT. Register here.
- Sign Adjunct Faculty United’s petition for healthcare and a fair contract. This petition affirms the importance of adjunct faculty to NOCCCD and the importance of equitable pay for all faculty.
It’s inspiring to see the push for fair benefits for adjunct faculty who work tirelessly to support our educational system. Attending the rally and signing the petition are great ways to show support for these dedicated professionals. Everyone deserves fair treatment and respect in the workplace, especially those shaping the future of higher education.
