Our roots: $7k or strike
Rank and File Action was born from the $7K or Strike campaign, a campaign by rank-and-file faculty, students, and staff at the City University. We demanded that CUNY adjuncts – the part-time faculty who teach the majority of classes – be lifted out of poverty wages.

At that, the room erupted into applause. #7KorStrike #7KCUNY #CUNYContractNowhttps://t.co/jHggSCA1mX

.@PSC_CUNY faculty and staff rail against @CUNY's proposed budget for failing to increase adjunct pay. “If you want to do better for your students, do better for the professors," one said. https://t.co/E247qyk6BX pic.twitter.com/uwmuja5VnJ
