More than 100 faculty members and students rallied today at Raritan Valley Community College calling for a contract
Branchburg, NJ -- More than 100 faculty members and students rallied today at Raritan Valley Community College calling for a contract.
Teachers at RVCC have been working without a contract since July 2015, according to acting union president Bick Treut, a communication studies professor.
“We’re hurting,” said Treut. “And, we’re sad. This is a fantastic institution. We launch our students into bright futures. We are educated, dedicated, and effective. We deserve a fair contract.”
