Great news: FAMCO has been awarded the 2023 AAUP Mobilization Grant for $20,000!

The funding from the AAUP grant will support our search for a new part-time field organizer who will help us coordinate next year’s contract campaign and our shift from business model unionism to social justice unionism focusing on  1-1 conversations, power analyses, and member education sessions. Take a look at the job posting here: FAMCO Part-Time Organizer.

We hope to have the staff person on board by the end of this semester to kick-off organizing efforts that will be critical to sustain our capacity as we prepare to negotiate the 2024-2027 contract. 

We are very grateful to AAUP National for their continued support of our local chapter and look forward to the opportunity to strengthen our already strong union!
