Please support my nomination to continue my role as VP at large for AFT Oregon.
I am the Chair of Bargaining and Co-chair of the Executive Council for PSUFA, the adjunct union at Portland State University, and a current VP at large for AFT Oregon. After serving for the last 2 years in this role with AFT Oregon I've got my bearings with how things work and I would like the opportunity to put that knowledge to use. In particular by getting more involved with the Political Action Committee and the Social Justice Committee. I am excited to help tie together our struggles across AFT Oregon Locals and beyond, to build AFT Oregon's role as a leader advocating for workers' rights and our communities rights. Some of the work I hope to take on for this next session:
- Build more ways to share resources and strategies for bargaining across locals.
- Support more legislative organizing and communication.
- Organize for increased worker involvement in higher ed decision making on Board of Trustees, Higher Education Coordinating Committee and Legislation.
- Increase state revenue for public education.
Ariana continues to be the voice of adjunct faculty that we need in our struggles to find just solutions for all. Proud to support her nomination.
