College and Community-Wide Benefits
Support for Palomar Foundation and Equity and Inclusion Campus Group through donations.
Food Distribution, along with CCE and other local Unions, began this summer. They are open to the entire community, and we have already helped feed thousands of our neighbors. Click here to help from 7:30-10:30am at the September 12th distribution.
Reports - PFF provides reports on negotiations, campus issues, and the Governing Board meetings to all faculty to help everyone stay informed.
Bottom line: PFF is more than just grievances and negotiations; we offer a multitude of benefits and we encourage you to make full use of them. You can help support these benefits and increase faculty strength by being a PFF member or becoming more active in the Union. We are working people standing together, colleagues supporting each other in both professional and personal matters. Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. To join, click here.
