are under attack not because they are failing, but because they are public. Henry Giroux

Since its formation, the committee has focused on advancing greater
participation on the part of contingent faculty within LAWCHA, raising
awareness about the unique challenges contingents face, and, more
broadly, advocating on behalf of non-tenure track faculty within the history
profession. With support from the LAWCHA board, we have, among other
things, seen increased travel grants for contingent faculty to attend the
LAWCHA conference, the explicit solicitation of conference papers from
contingent faculty, changes to the due structure, and support for
contingent faculty organizing campaigns. We have worked closely with the
Independent Scholars Committee on areas of shared concern, and the last
LAWCHA conference featured a very successful plenary on contingent
faculty and independent scholars.

While we are especially interested in having contingent faculty on the
committee, we would welcome anyone interested in joining us as we
continue work on these and other related issues, especially as we consider
the particular challenges COVID presents for already insecurely-employed
contingent faculty.

Please contact Claire Goldstene (cgoldstene@yahoo.com) if you’d like to
join the committee or would like more information.

Thanks and best wishes,

6. “More Expendable than ‘Essential’: Black Workers’ Rights and Racial Class Struggles Under the
COVID Crisis”

Special Issue of Labor Studies Journal
In Conjunction with the 2021 United Association for Labor Education Annual Conference
May 24-27, 2021, University of Illinois at Chicago

The following is an excerpt from the Call for Papers.
Download the full Call here. https://uale.org/conference/conference-2021#LSJCall

It is often said, when the United States catches a cold, Black people get double pneumonia. As

H-Adjunct

COVID-19 devastates populations across the world, the historically rooted, social disparities
impacting African American workers have been exacerbated. Black workers disproportionally, and
often involuntarily, represent a significant portion of frontline laborers. Although Black workers
comprise 11.9 percent of the U.S. population, or one in nine workers overall, they represent one in
six workers classified as “essential.” Black workers are disproportionally represented in service
industries especially as retail, janitorial, and food service workers, postal service employees, one-fifth
of childcare and social service workers, and a third of all bus drivers. Black workers also constitute a
disproportionate number of construction workers, home health aides and gig economy service
workers.

We are inviting submissions for a special edition on workers’ rights and racial class struggles during
the COVID crisis for Labor Studies Journal. This call for papers seeks research that speaks to the
political, economic, social, and cultural implications of African American labor history in
understanding the social and labor crises during the COVID pandemic. Case studies from a local,
national, and/or global comparative standpoint, are highly encouraged. We encourage submissions
from the perspectives of multiple disciplines, including but not limited to, labor studies, history,
sociology, gender studies, political science, economics, labor, and law.

Interested authors should submit a paper proposal abstract to Special Editor Dr. Augustus Wood
at https://forms.gle/XkRhMQf1YBaeLvfk6. Proposals should be submitted no later than FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER 20. Any questions about submissions should be directed to woodiii2@illinois.edu.

7. “Heartland Community College (Illinois) has extended the contracts of its part-time and full-time
faculty to avoid going through negotiations during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

"Instead, the Heartland board of trustees on Tuesday approved a one-year extension to June 30, 2022.
It also voted to extend the contract with the Heartland Adjunct Faculty Association for one year,
making it effective through June 30, 2023.

“Part-time faculty will receive 2.5% pay increases in the extended year. Full-time faculty will receive
a flat dollar amount based on an average 2.5% increase, with higher paid faculty getting a lower
percentage raise and lower paid faculty receiving a higher percentage, according to Rick Pearce,
provost and vice president of academic affairs.”

Dear organizers,

We are so excited to come together soon with the thousands of you, coming from more than seventy
countries, who will be participating in Strike School.

In this email, you will find several materials that will be important for your preparation and
participation in Strike School.

Here is a short document titled "How to prepare for Strike School".

Here you can find your first homework assignment. Make sure to find an hour to work on this
together with your organizing group before our first class on the 24th of September.

Here you can find the first two chapters of Jane's book No Shortcuts, where she provides an overview
of the core concepts that will be taught in this class. You can also find the 1199 principles, which are
only one page long and serve as a guiding star for the organizing methods taught in this class.

That’s all for now. By next Wednesday we will send you the course link and a participant’s manual.
We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait.

29. "Starting in August, Education Department officials touted a developing partnership with CUNY
to recruit out-of-work adjuncts and graduating education students to fill vacant DOE positions. But
the first email to roughly 5,500 potentially eligible CUNY graduate students — and another to
colleges with laid-off adjuncts advertising the new DOE openings — only went out Sept. 15, according
to CUNY officials.

"One CUNY adjunct, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of jeopardizing her job, said the idea
was received mostly with eye rolls. “Teaching college does not mean you can teach fourth graders,"
the adjunct said. “That’s a panic move by the de Blasio administration.”

"Mulgrew said only teachers with valid K-12 teaching licenses would be considered for city schools.”

laid off some 3,000 adjunct faculty in a pitiful attempt to balance his budget. He “saved” a tiny
fraction of the multi-billion-dollar cost of educating half a million students each year—but the cost

30."The University of Vermont and its faculty union are at an impasse in negotiations about the
impact of the pandemic on the school’s teaching conditions.

"UVM’s administration in late July agreed to come to the table to hash out a deal with faculty after
the union filed its first-ever unfair labor practice charge with the Vermont Labor Relations Board. The
complaint had charged that professors were largely locked out of the school’s planning process for
the fall, and as part of the settlement, union representatives were appointed to the university’s
reopening task forces.

“Professors and the administration have come to agreement on a number of issues, including the
suspension of pre-tenure reviews, daily health checks for faculty, and travel restrictions for
employees.”

“But outstanding matters include whether to allow faculty to switch their classes to all-remote
modalities if they have health concerns, the use of student course evaluations, and extra
compensation for course preparation over the summer.”

32. On September 9, 2020, CA Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 736, expanding the
professional exemption under Industrial Welfare Commission (“IWC”) under Wage Orders Nos.
4-2001 and 5-2001 to expressly include part-time or “adjunct” faculty at private, nonprofit colleges
and universities in California. The sponsors of AB 736, the Association of Independent California
Colleges and Universities, advocated for the bill to address perceived ambiguities in the
California Labor Code that had spawned litigation causing some colleges and universities to reclassify
adjunct faculty as hourly, non-exempt employees.

"UD’s 1,330 faculty members are exempt from these cuts. The university continues to have
discussions with the unions representing employees, including the UD chapter of the American
Association of University Professors.

"The cuts come after drastic cuts in discretionary spending, a hiring and salary freeze, salary cuts for
senior administration as well as laying off 1,100 part-time employees last spring. That covered about
$86 million of the projected shortfall, and the Board of Trustees drew down the endowment portfolio
to cover the remaining $82 million."

IN SEARCH OF PROFESSOR PRECARIOUS, our team’s documentary feature about the
exploitation of contingent faculty in Canada—which is really an international issue—is
starting to be seen and is now available to all.

If you missed the free online premiere on Labour Day Weekend, anyone can catch the
film in a few other ways. It will be screened at three online festivals, two of which are
coming up: The International Social Change Film Festival
Oct.17-24: https://socialchange.site/changefest , and Workers Unite Film Festival Oct.
8-18: https://www.workersunitefilmfestival.org.
