SURVEY FOR AFT 2121 FACULTY: WAGE FREEZE PROPOSAL / COVID-19
The District has proposed a faculty pay freeze, asking faculty to forego planned increases (steps, columns, and annual) for 6-12 months. While AFT 2121 is not required to consider this proposal, the immediate impact of refusing is that the district will impose further class cuts and layoffs.

The District has already made deep cuts for to the fall schedule. (For example, there are no assignments in the fall schedule for most part-time Business faculty, and ESL is facing more than 60 layoffs.)

We’ve been down this road before: faculty pay cuts during the accreditation crisis funded the vast majority of the significant reserves that administration has drained in the last few years.

Our ongoing critiques of the CCSF administration’s misplaced priorities and planning notwithstanding, our analysis is that this budget crisis is real, and with COVID-19 it just got more real. There’s no hidden stash of money in the college's coffers.  

Our long-view answer has been and remains to increase revenue. There IS, in fact, plenty of money for higher education and other community needs, and we are NOT a poor society—that’s why we’ve been working tirelessly on bringing in new revenue at the city, state, and federal levels. Our community colleges will be essential engines in moving us beyond the coming economic crisis, and we will need to secure more long-term funding to serve the students who do and will need our City College. But those long-term solutions are unlikely to arrive in time to avert the immediate crisis.

We need to hear your thoughts on this crisis and how to move through it in a way that strengthens our union and our college.
