Who is the Job Action Committee?

The JAC is composed of volunteers from the faculty association. We are all working to provide the negotiation committee with the backup that they need if they are to reach a fair deal with management.

Job Action Committee Membership

Communications Representatives

As negotiations progress you may start to hear rumors and stories that may not be accurate. Talk to your department communications representative for the official word from your union. They can communicate your concerns to the faculty association and will be the route for rapid communication of information from the association to you, the membership.
