The Pellissippi State Organizing Drive

Sat, 04/24/2010 - 3:03pm

The past several weeks UCW has been doing outreach to Pellissippi State staff and faculty about the work of Tennessee’s higher education union.

In conversations with dozens of employees we have discovered that Pellissippi employees share the same concerns that 1000’s of other Tennessee higher education workers face-  years without decent salary increases, the inability for career advancement, and eroding tenure rights.  Despite this a large number of employees we’ve spoken with have a strong allegiance and loyalty to the institution- much like the core of UCW’s members do at the schools we have established presences at.
