FROM CCCTU President Perry J. Buckley: "...the City Colleges team...is still insisting on a total annihilation of our contract...They seek a four year freeze of our salary; a massive increase of thousands of dollars in our health care payments; elimination of health care for retirees; elimination of sick pay payouts upon retirement; the dismantling of our department chair structure; institution of a "publish or perish" provision, and a 30 hour credit load for all teachers including English teachers. ...

Why? [CCC Chancellor] Wayne Watson believes with all his heart that we are 'beatable.' ... He is doing this because he thinks he can."
