Guild Endorses Challenger for Board of Trustees At its February meeting, the Glendale College Guild voted to endorse Christine Rodriguez for our district's Board of Trustees. Ms Rodriguez was a member of the Guild until recently, teaches full-time at East Los Angeles College, and has been active in the Guild in that district. Among other service to the LA College Guild at ELAC, she has served as the Grievance Officer for that campus. She has also worked many years as a labor lawyer for employees. In her endorsement interviews, Ms Rodriguez evinced a commitment to improving the lot of adjunct faculty, direct communication with all members of the campus community, and respect for the rights of workers to organize.
Both of the
other candidates presented significant strengths, and only a few
troubling weaknesses, but Guild members decided not to pick between
them. The Guild's political action committee will do what it can to
help elect Ms Rodriguez, and the Guild will work closely with whoever is
elected to the Board on April 3.
