Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am happy to report a major legislative win that was spearheaded by your union, UUP, at the end of the legislative session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UUP\u2019s advocacy has led to the passage in the State Senate and State Assembly of S8389C<\/a> & A9523B<\/a>. This legislation will be an incredible benefit for our contingent and adjunct members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bill is an amendment to state labor law, giving full-time employment status to public employees who work at least 30 hours per week for the limited purpose of accessing the federal Public Student Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill also applies a 3.35x multiplier to contingent faculty\u2019s in-class hours so that hours worked outside of class are more accurately reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, it will ensure that agencies and employers can transmit requisite paperwork on behalf of workers to the federal government which will help more New Yorkers get their loans forgiven faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is more advocacy work to be done to push Governor Hochul to sign this bill. I hope you can take a moment to send a digital letter to Governor Hochul by clicking HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In solidarity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frederick E. Kowal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
