After 10 months without contracts, the full-time faculty, post doctoral, graduate students, counselors, and adjunct faculty of Rutgers University are taking action by calling for a strike starting Monday, April 10 at 9am across all of Rutgers University’s campuses.

We, the member of the Faculty Association of Monmouth University (FAMCO), support our colleagues in their union’s historic first strike and what may become the largest public sector strike in New Jersey history.

We are united in our fight to make higher education more equitable, just, and sustainable for the workers that keep the campus operational. Student success is dependent on the overall wellbeing of employees and faculty who service and teach.

We call upon Rutgers University President Holloway to cease his threats and return to negotiate fair and just contract with the union so faculty can return to doing what they do best.

To our Rutgers colleagues, we stand in unwavering solidarity with you. An injury to one is an injury to all!
