As a result of our organizing efforts through NFEE #4935, Northern New Mexico College has finally acknowledged that it underpaid adjuncts in 2024-25 in a major and direct breach of our CBA, resulting in over $31,000 in backpay owed to adjuncts teaching in-person classes... 1/2

Alright, fun's over. They caught on.

I don't normally do this, but since Peter Kolchin's classic book "Emancipation: The Abolition and Aftermath of American Slavery and Russian Serfdom" is currently 95% off. I HIGHLY recommend you snag a copy right now

I am going to be extremely busy from now until late November and therefore largely absent from all social media. If you need to get in touch, please don't DM me here because I will likely not see it. Please email instead.

If you need my email, better get it quick!
