Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition, University of Illinois
Join your stewards at the Espresso Royale at Grainger Library this semester for coffee, tea, and snacks on us! This is a great chance to talk to your stewards about work, life, and your union.
Coffee hours will rotate next semester to different places around campus–check out our Google Calendar to stay up to date on the different times and locations.
We are happy to announce that NTFC will again be collecting school supplies this fall to be donated to Wiley Elementary and the Urbana Adult Education Center. Supplies can either be donated at the NTFC Office or dropped off at our Reading Day Work-In on December 12th, 2019, at the Illini Union. NTFC will match 1 for 1 on all supplies collected.
Our first All Members Meeting is coming up fast!
Twice per year, the All NTFC Members meet to determine the actions and shape of our union. This is your chance to have a voice in how we structure dues, amend our constitution, and so much more. Be there to make certain that NTFC serves and represents you.
Light dinner will be provided! Feel free to come and go as needed.
Afterwards, there will also be time to talk to your stewards or members of your executive council if you have specific questions that you need to ask.
The Agenda is as Follows:
Saturday, September 14th, join us for our Welcome Back Party at Hessel Park in Champaign from 4-7pm! We will be celebrating the beginning of the new academic year, our new contract, and the end of our organizing drive. Dinner and games will be provided. This will be a family friendly event.
In the frenzy of bargaining, we have failed to welcome our new Operations Coordinator, Nick Goodell to the NTFC family. Nick began working for us just as Bargaining began, and he has been a tremendous asset.
A little about Nick–
Nick Goodell is a recent graduate of the University of Illinois, where he studied history and philosophy. Locally, he is on the editorial collective of the Public i, the Board of Directors of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, and organizes with the Party for Socialism and Liberation. He is passionate about labor and working-class history, and has been involved in several local labor movements. He is very excited to be working for the NTFC and to be putting education first in the best way–collective organizing.
Kind, quick, and forward-thinking, we are thrilled that Nick has joined us. We are a better, more effective union with him on our side.
