Our hearts go out to all the members of Local #6375 who are experiencing tough financial times during contract negotiations.
Who We Are?
NJSFT Local #6375 AFT/AFL-CIO is comprised of a small (yet mighty!) group of Professional Support Staff at Sussex County Community College in Newton, New Jersey.
What We Stand For?
We stand for fairness, respect, honesty, and integrity. We are the backbone of SCCC, the College could not open its doors without us. Your negotiating team will stand firm in negotiations until we get a fair contract. We know these are tough economic times and we are very sensitive to that, but these negotiations started over two years ago when times were good and many in the administration received huge increases. The Good News! Our enrollment is up 10% this semester and the College raised tuition in both Fall 2008 and Spring 2009, so revenue is up!
The Bottom Line?
We love SCCC, we love our jobs, we love the students. We have been a loyal, devoted staff who have consistently worked above and beyond what was asked of us. All we want is a fair contract and the right to keep providing the excellent support services that have made our College what it is today. It is our intention to bring professionalism and integrity to SCCC for a group of hard working people who deserve to be treated fairly and respectfully.
A Message from the President
Dear Fellow Members,
We are honored to call ourselves brothers and sisters in the AFT Local #6375. Working towards resolution of our first contract has been nothing less than challenging. We take strength from knowing that you have all walked a mile in our ‘negotiating shoes’ and that we are not alone. We thank you for your past support and ask that you continue to support us by attending negotiating sessions which are on Monday nights at 5:00 pm in the Dining Room. Your presence makes a difference, it sends a strong message of unity!
