CCAC Adjuncts United

As adjunct instructors at the Community College of Allegheny County, we are dedicated to providing our students with an exceptional education and furthering the mission of CCAC. To that end, we are coming together to form a union with the American Federation of Teachers. We believe that by working to attain proper instructional supports, greater equity in wages and benefits, and a unified voice in

governance, we can greatly improve the teaching and learning environment at CCAC. In order to be more effective educators, we must first resolve problems we face including unsustainable compensation, perpetual job insecurity, limited or no office space, and an absence of influence in planning and policy. We want to work together with the college in order to improve adjunct working conditions, which will, in turn, improve CCAC. By joining together as a union, we will be better equipped to deal with the serious issues that face us as adjunct instructors. As educators and employees, we deserve full respect and greater equity as vital members of the CCAC community.
