From Save Ohio Higher Ed (SOHE):
SOHE’s 10th forum is aimed at precarious academic workers in Ohio — most of whom, by state law, do not have collective bargaining rights. It should also be useful for anyone interested in mounting effective issue campaigns and in building collective power across different types of workers.
On Zoom: Organize! Empowering Precarious Academics in Ohio
Wednesday, November 1, 2022, 4-5:30pm ET
Register in advance
Please be there and please share!
At this SOHE forum, seasoned organizers from all over the country will share tips and ideas for how to organize for transformational change when you aren’t able to form a collective bargaining unit.
We will be connecting workers who attend so that they can form a network and build power together.
We’ll explore:
- How non-tenure-track academics can build organizing power with or without collective bargaining
- How graduate students and staff members are organizing across the country
- Collective organizing strategies for part-time academics
Featuring:
- Helena Worthen and Joe Berry, authors of Power Despite Precarity
- Trent McDonald, HELU organizer and staff organizer at Rutgers AAUP-AFT
- Jill Penn, organizer with UCWGA (United Campus Workers of Georgia)
- Tracy Berger, HELU Operations Coordinator
Be there to help grow connections and build power for academic workers in Ohio. We are many, and together we can build a movement to improve workers’ lives and protect public education as a common good.
