We are still pushing to pass the Adjunct Healthcare Bill, and given our better-than-expected state funding situation we believe it can happen.
Because the state has already committed significant funding for public higher education in general, we need to remind our legislators that those funds are needed for so many purposes. We need to pass the Adjunct Healthcare Bill to remedy the terrible problem of adjunct faculty not having access to affordable health insurance — an issue our members know all too well.
Our parent union, AFT Oregon, is asking that we get as many people as possible to send letters to legislators to let them know how important it is to pass the Adjunct Healthcare Bill this legislative session. Here is a link to the letter template form to make it easy for you to customize and send your letter, and get your friends and family to send them too!
Letter to Legislators: Pass SB 551 (Part-Time Faculty Healthcare)!
