The protest made it clear that the union is not going to accept an austerity contract for its members or an austerity education for CUNY students.

The six students from the Ad Hoc Committee Against the Militarization of CUNY who were arrested by police on Sept. 17 came to the rally in solidarity with the union.

Union leaders repeated the union’s defense of the right of peaceful protest at CUNY without fear of police violence. n
