We sent a public records request asking for information about PCC President Bennings' private ownership of the slogan "One Together, Together One." The public deserves to know: Is Dr. Bennings directing public dollars to promote her personal brand?

In a historic action, both federations at PCC have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike! This does not mean a strike begins now, but that our unions are organized and ready to fight for a fair contract. #solidarityforever #wefixpcc
Graphic which says 94% of FCE voted YES with 90% members voting, and 94% of FFAP voted YES with 85% members voting.

ICYMI there were some fireworks at the PCC Board Meeting last night. The testimony from students and workers was so powerful. We presented a strike pledge signed by 783 of our members. A faculty member announced a recall petition for Board Chair Tiffani Penson.

The difference between how PCC presents contract language on layoffs (left) and what the contract actually says (right - our additions in red). We'll be filing a group grievance on behalf of our colleagues who received layoff/reduction notices.

The PCC President has an army of communications professionals at her disposal, including an Internal Communications Manager. This morning, after three days of radio silence about the federal funding freeze, she sent a message that was likely generated by AI.
