GW Faculty Union Struggle Continues
Monday, April 17, 2006(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The George Washington
University Coalition for Fair Labor has now
collected nearly 1,000 signatures on their
petition to support the Adjunct Faculty Union
at GW. On Thursday, student activists and
representatives from SEIU Local 500 staged a
noontime rally at GW to demand that the
administration recognize and negotiate with the
union. The rally took place as tours by
prospective students crossed through GW's Kogan
Plaza, ensuring that incoming students and
their parents are aware of GW's union-busting
policies. Despite the support of the union by a
significant portion of the GW student body --
as well as by the Student Association –
student activists report that the GW
Administration continues to refuse to negotiate
with the Adjunct Faculty Union. Email
adjunct.campaign@gmail.com for more
information.
