The Mirror News, the student newspaper at Henry Ford Community College is calling on students to support the Adjunct Faculty Organization at HFCC as the administration continues to drag out the "unit determination" process.  The last paragraph of the story says it all from a student perspective.

The AFO is currently meeting with the college's administration to determine the scope of their bargaining unit. If an agreement is not reached by February 15th, the AFO and the administration will present their case to the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) in a hearing, that is similar to a court proceeding. In the hearing a MERC referee, similar to a judge in a court case, will make a decision. That is something that the AFO would like to avoid for numerous reasons. The AFO needs to be supported because the outcome ultimately affects you as a student. In the coming days and weeks the AFO will be passing out their open letter to the students and will ask students to sign a petition saying that they support their adjunct teachers. The Mirror News not only supports the AFO, but asks that all students support their adjunct teachers and support the AFO's cause.
