Welcome to August, union members!

We have a lot to discuss, so let’s jump in. First, in case you are wondering why I am emailing you on behalf of our CTA, I want to introduce myself as your current CTA Corresponding Secretary. I’ll be sending union updates moving forward, and I hope we all start to feel a little more informed and a little more knowledgeable about our union and contract this coming year. Let’s start now.

Union News

Over the summer, we had two resignations from the CTA Executive Board. Unfortunately, both President Norma Nunez and our Faculty Rep, Rumaldo Marquez, have resigned for personal reasons. This means that our Vice President, Dr. Steven Cauchon, has become our interim president, and there will be an election to fill the now-vacant spots of vice president and faculty representative. If you are interested in joining the union and helping your fellow faculty members, please consider running for a position! Remember, it is our members that keep our union strong, and we can’t do it alone.

Coming Up

Convocation and the start of the Fall 2023 semester are right around the corner! We’re excited to see all of you again! Come visit our union table during registration to say hi, and don’t forget about the union meeting at the end of the day. Convocation is a long, hot day, but we’ll have snacks and swag and lots to share to make it worth your while 🙂 

As always, if you have any questions, ideas, or concerns, we’re here to help!
