This Divisional saw the collaborative process of our members making our first by-laws, the election of our Precarious Workers Committee, presentations from our other CAAT units' leadership, and a continued discussion on what matters most to our members as we continue to bargain for a fair, first collective agreement.

One thing became clear for all units - we all feel precarious in the jobs we are passionate about and the difficulty that it creates in teaching/supporting our students. As wall-to-wall CAAT, faculty and support staff (part-time & full-time) stand in solidarity against the dismantling of our public college system and will fight for the community colleges our communities deserve.
