TIAA-CREF yields
THE TEACHERS INSURANCE and Annuity Association-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF) has, for the first time, adopted a Responsible Contractor Policy dealing with its real estate investments. The decision came after AFT president Randi Weingarten met with TIAA-CREF chief executive officer Roger Ferguson. She announced the fund's new policy at a New York State United Teachers delegate assembly on April 12.
This "really important step," Weingarten said, makes "common cause with our brothers and sisters in the building trades."

Support Faculty Negotiations at Board of Trustees Meeting
As you know, AFT Seattle has been in negotiations with the administration for a year. AFT Seattle has fought hard for important gains, such as workload equity and a meaningful raise to the stipend rate, along with other items.
At this point, we have decided it's time to go to mediation. The administration has talked plenty about the need to address workload equity, but they haven't offered to do much about it. They're willing to raise the stipend rate to $33, but that leaves us well below Shoreline ($39) and Everett Community Colleges ($40) for no good reason.
