Title
Audience at First PSC Contract Rally
Description
This October 1972 mass meeting at the Marc Ballroom at Union Square, New York came at a time when the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) was deadlocked with CUNY administration during negotiations for the union's first contract following its creation in April of that year. Don Davidson, a union leader from LaGuardia Community College, is the second figure in the first row, just left of the center aisle.
The union held a number of rallies and took two strike authorization votes. Ultimately, an agreement was reached between CUNY and the PSC in July 1973.
