Can adjuncts support a strike?
In the event of a strike, we hope some adjuncts will choose to support a strike by not crossing a picket line. It’s a personal decision, and we understand if adjuncts decide they must teach their assigned classes, either out of economic necessity or fear of administrative reprisal, or both. We hope all adjuncts will show their support by not taking on extra work to replace any full-time faculty member who is participating in a strike. You may wish to read the letter of support from a group of Cincinnati State adjuncts. Any adjunct who believes they have been threatened or intimidated in relation to their decision to support (or not support) a strike is encouraged to send a message to exec@cinstateaaup.org. The AAUP Executive Committee does not condone such behavior and will take steps to address it if we become aware of problems.
