Montclair State full-time local at Occupy Wall Street

Friday morning faculty and students from Montclair went to Zuccotti Park to deliver the unanimous resolution that Local 1904 passed at our General Union Meeting to the organizers of the Occupy Wall Street encampment in support of the efforts of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Aside from adding our name to the list of supporters we also delivered AFT t-shirts and clean dry socks, which were sorely needed after the rains last night, to the Comfort Station.

Montclair State, AFT Local 1904

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 1904 is the Union representing Montclair State University Faculty, Professional Staff and Librarians.

Last Wednesday, faculty, professional staff, librarians and other members of labor unions on campus participated in the first weekly Solidarity Walk sponsored by the American Federations of Teachers (AFT) Local 1904.

Solidarity Walks start at Café Diem each Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. and follow a mile-long route ending at the Alumni Green. They are meant to foster unity and build awareness on campus for labor unions and what they do for students.

Rich Wolfson, president of Local 1904, says they also “get people to engage in a bit of physical activity as well as in great discussions.”
