What issues are you dealing with? Take the survey!

AFT-Lone Star College (your employee union at LSC) is concerned about certain issues we have been hearing about from some employees. We would like to know if what we are hearing is isolated or a common issue for many employees. Our union has developed a short survey that we would like you to take so we can better understand how you experience your working environment. There are 20 questions and it will take about 4 minutes to complete. Please take the survey!

The AFT-Lone Star Newsletter THE ADVOCATE is back!

Welcome to the first edition of the newly resurrected union newsletter The Advocate! 

Much of what you see looks just like before but, like everything else, you are reading it online. Starting with this issue we will be returning to our regular publication schedule of two issues each long semester. At least through Fall, 2021 we will be coming to you through your computer inbox instead of your office mailbox.  After that, we’ll see. We may return to print. We may stay online. We may adopt a hybrid format.  Times change (sometimes abruptly) and we are changing, too.

What will not change is our commitment to providing the Lone Star College Community with important news and quality insight into the life of our Institution.  We will keep you abreast of the work that the AFT is doing (and has been doing all through pandemic) to advocate for Policy and to advocate for People – because the name of our newsletter is what we do!

Read on, dear friends. We are back! Click here to read our lastest edition of The Advocate!
