Here’s a list:
CUNY-centered
- PSC CUNY (Professional Staff Congress- based)
- CUNY Adjunct Project (a DSC (Doctoral Student Council) project)
- CCU (CUNY Contingents Unite) (tied to wider labor movements)
- QC Adjunct Task Force (based at Queens College)
- OccupyCUNY.com
- OccupyCUNY on Facebook
- OccupyCUNY - News
- ccupyCUNYGC on twitter
- AdjunctsforLiberation (actually ours! now defunct)
- COCAL (Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor)
- Adjunct Project
- The New Faculty Majority blog
- The New Faculty Majority Coalition (and on Facebook)
Additionally, those at the top (the ones doing the exploiting) are strongly vested in keeping us fragmented. Imagine what the Hunter Adjuncts movement would be like if we had space to meet regularly at Hunter (instead of having to fight for office space to meet with students!)! Or imagine if adjuncts who make up a large majority of the teaching faculty CUNY-wide had their own union (a pet wish of mine; after MANY years, no one has yet been able to fully convince me that being a part of CUNY’s full-time faculty union is really the best thing for CUNY’s part-time faculty!).
