Post-Strike: New Contract

P
Well, we voted with 97% in favor to ratify our new contract. It obviously doesn’t plug all the holes in the leaky boat of American higher ed, but it’s as good a deal as we could have hoped for, after 15 months of negotiations and organizing!

We were back at school teaching today, which felt really good. Even if it was a little hard to get back in the swing, it was so nice to just be with my class discussing Leslie Marmon Silko and Frederick Douglass, who, oddly, we ended up talking about on the same day.
