A recent article from The Chronicle of Higher Education states the benefit of unionizing.

“Full-time instructors at regional public universities earn an average of about $21,000, or nearly 25 percent, more in pay and benefits annually if they belong to a union, concludes a groundbreaking new study of compensation at such institutions.

The location and size of the employer also makes a big difference. Those in larger suburban public universities, the highest-paying category of institutions studied, earned an average of nearly $17,000, or 20 percent, more in pay and benefits annually than those at midsize rural institutions, the lowest-paying category.”

In January, TCNJ AFT Local 2364 donated money $1,500 to Antheil Elementary School. This money will go to the purchase of services and products that will aide in their students development of better social skills. In an effort to make “time-out” more productive, students will observe a series of short videos and cartoons, and will then answer questions. The hope is that whatever mistakes the children made that got them sent to the principles office will be reviewed and they will learn how to interact with one another better.

In December of Fall 2015 TCNJ AFT Local 2364 held a Solidarity Walk around campus. This walks goal was to raise awareness amongst students and fellow CWI staff. During the walk professors and staff explained to students how we are all currently working without contracts and what exactly that means for us.
