Support Marist Adjunct Faculty's Right to Unionize
The Marist College Administration
Marist College adjunct faculty have taken a big step towards creating a more equitable educational and working environment here at Marist: they are forming a union. By fighting for job security, higher standards, and and a voice within the university, adjunct faculty at Marist are standing together against the growing trend of corporatization and contingency that imperils students’ education and Marist College's commitment to social justice.
We ask that you stand with them and demand that the administration not intimidate adjunct faculty as they seek to hold a free and fair election to form a union.
Sign the petition and support the right of contingent faculty at Marist College to form a union. We ask that the administration remain neutral and not use student tuition funds or other college resources to oppose the unionization effort, and we pledge to speak out against any intimidation or retaliation that may be a result of contingent faculty invoking their right to organize.

[Your Name]
We call on the the administration to not intimidate adjunct faculty as they seek to hold a free and fair election to form a union. The contingent faculty at Marist are joining in a movement that has brought concrete gains, from pay raises to basic job security provisions, to adjunct faculty across the country who have formed unions. Adjunct faculty at George Washington University, Tufts, Georgetown, Montgomery College, Lesley University, Whittier College, and American University have found that in standing together, their collective voice has helped to improve both their working conditions and their student learning conditions.
We, the undersigned, support the right of contingent faculty at Marist College to form their union. We ask that the administration remain neutral and not use student tuition funds or other college resources to oppose the unionization effort, and we pledge to speak out against any intimidation or retaliation that may be a result of contingent faculty invoking their right to organize.
