Logan Term United

Welcome

John A. Logan College is one of the first colleges in the state of Illinois to have organized term faculty. It is the only such community college in Southern Illinois. In 1998, several part-time faculty became concerned about their responsiblities as faculty, as balanced against salary and rights. Aware that all other groups on campus were represented by unions, they decided to organize under the Illinois Education Association (NEA). The first contract featured improved salary and a broader range of salary tiers, a codified grievance procedure, sick days, and the title "Term Faculty"--which more clearly indicated our significance in and to the Logan community. We will begin negotiating our new contract soon; and, subsequently a negotiating committee is now being formed. All members and non-members are welcome at the next meeting in Carbondale at the Great Wall of China restaurant, April 10, 2008 at 1pm. Union membership is welcomed and open year round.
