The faculty union at the County College of Morris is urging county commissioners to step in after six professors, including three union officers, were fired.
Earlier this month, six non-tenured professors were told their contracts would not be renewed for the 2021-2022 school year. Before their contracts expire at the end of the Spring semester, union members are asking county commissioners to save their jobs and hold the college administration accountable for what they call, retaliatory union-busting tactics. The college is using this, we think, as a last-second opportunity to take out our union officers and bust our union, said Jim Capozzi, President of the Faculty Association of the County College of Morris (FACCM). Frankly, we ve been very organized, very successful in the past and we think this is a last-ditch attempt to try and break that organizing.
