The SEIU's Faculty Forward campaign is seeking to organize part-time faculty at several colleges in the Tampa Bay area. When SEIU put out a call to the 4Cs for assistance, Vice President for Part-Timers Ray Esponda packed his bags (and lots of bug spray) and headed to Florida.
Ray assisted SEIU by visiting part-time faculty in their homes and discussing the benefits of union membership, as well as speaking to the part-time faculty organizing committee (those in charge of trying to form the union) by talking to them about the protections and benefits afforded by the 4Cs Contract.
You'll be able to hear more about Ray's trip in the next
