Dear Adjunct Faculty, There is a sense of pride and respect in the air at Essex County College. Through your forethought and encouragement, your Executive Board persevered and after 13 long months of meetings and strategy sessions, we were able to convince the college officers that we were entitled to be recognized and appreciated. There is probably no better way to be shown an employers appreciation for the hard work we do than with a raise – and a significant one at that. This is the first of what will be a turning point for us at Essex and for adjuncts across the state. It was wonderful meeting many of you at ratification meetings and your kind words and support helped buoy us even more. As your treasurer, I assure you we will abide by all recognized and approved accounting procedures to ensure your dues money supports our goals and objectives. We need one thing from you; we need for you to sign up as a full member. This will give you all the rights and privileges due a full member. Should you not sign up, as a closed shop, you will still be paying dues, but your privileges are not as encompassing. I think the difference is about $5.00 per term. Do yourself a favor so that we can continue to support you. Once again, thank you. Mark Brodsky |
