The Choice Before Us

1,200 new full-time positions

The CUNY Alliance thinks it can do better. Really? They have been invisible when there was work to be done and their politics will cost CUNY jobs and lead to a reduction in salary and benefits.

Invisibility: Fred Brodzinski, “the man who would be president,” from 2000 to 2007, missed all 67 sessions of the PSC Delegate Assembly. Neither he, nor his caucus, has ever lobbied with the PSC in Albany or at City Hall
Disinvestment in CUNY: For the full story on what Brodzinski’s political agenda of disinvestment in government means for CUNY, go to www.newcaucus.org/CApoliticsofdisinvestment.htm
