Title

PSC Contract Rally

Description

The Professional Staff Congress (PSC) struggled to win its first contract from CUNY in 1972 and 1973. It called on support from others in the labor movement to help put pressure on the CUNY administration. At this meeting, President Belle Zeller of the PSC is speaking. In the first row behind her, at right, is Albert Shanker, United Federation of Teachers president, and to his right is Thomas Hobart, New York State United Teachers president. At the rear of the photo is Arnold Cantor, the Executive Director of the PSC.
