Union says CUNY bowed to
pressure for employees to
By Nelson A. King
Barbara Bowen, president of the Professional
Staff Congress at the City University
of New York (PSC/CUNY), says
the CUNY chancellor and chairman
have acquiesced to the union demand
that they permit employees to work
remotely amid the coronavirus (COVID-
19) pandemic.
The union represents 30,000 faculty
and staff at CUNY and the CUNY
Research Foundation.
“4,240 letters were sent this afternoon
to Chancellor Matos Rodríguez
and Chairperson Thompson calling
on them to allow all PSC-represented
employees to work remotely, starting
tomorrow,” said Bowen in an email
message Sunday night.
She said Chancellor Rodríguez made
the following announcement Sunday
afternoon.
“Only CUNY essential personnel
should report to work tomorrow, Monday,
March 16, to their campuses and
CUNY Central,” he said. “Essential staff
have already been designated, however,
if you have any questions, please contact
your supervisor.”
Bowen said the announcement is “a
victory for everyone who lives or works
in this city.
“CUNY management heard our message
and put public health first,” she
said. “Now professional staff, as well
as all faculty, will be able to protect
their own health and the health of the
community by staying home tomorrow.
Everyone should continue to be
paid as normal.”
Bowen said there will be more to
discuss and many questions to answer,
especially about work arrangements for
the future.
“I’m sure there will still be knotty
questions to resolve,” she said. “But for
now, we know that all of our co-workers
at CUNY, those represented by other
unions, as well as those represented by
the PSC, will be able to stay at home
tomorrow (Monday), unless they have
been designated ‘essential personnel.’
“The PSC can now enter into negotiations
with CUNY management about
the issues that need to be settled,”
Bowen added.
