<br />
"To address many of the concerns related to benefits raised by respondents to the eForum, which <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span></span></span>largely stem from contingent faculty’s part-time status, Congress should extend a number of critical workplace protections to part-time workers. H.R. 675, the Part-Time Workers Bill of Rights Act, sponsored by Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), addresses coverage issues for part-time workers in a number of federal labor laws. The bill does three things: First, it would extend the ACA’s employer responsibility requirement to include part-time workers. Large employers that are required to offer health care to full-time employees or pay a penalty would also have to offer health care to part-time workers or pay a pro rata penalty. Second, the bill extends job-protected family and medical leave to part-time workers under the FMLA and, finally, it would require part-time workers to be treated like full-time workers for purposes of participating in their employers' pension plan."<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303902244498086351.post-46560988259013968462014-01-20T17:21:00.003-05:002014-01-20T17:21:40.800-05:00<div style="text-align: center;">

NOTHING. How does it benefit KVCC? Job security for part-time faculty would ensure that the college retains great instructors, continuity of instruction throughout a department, students who look for particular instructors from one semester to the next, people who have real-world working lives outside of academia and who enrich their courses with specialized skills . . . and after the KVCC Federation of Teachers Operation Bookmark, students can say with authority, "Now I Know...".<br />
