AFT Local 1904

Congratulations to all the Essex-West Hudson Central Labor Council 2026 Scholarship Recipients and our own President Emeritus Rich Wolfson who MCed the ceremony!

What an excellent start to the 2025-26 academic year!

In September, Local 1904 was joined by AFT New Jersey President Jennifer Higgins at our membership meeting, followed by Council of NJ State College Locals - AFT President Emari DiGiorgio at the October meeting.

Both leaders provided important updates to the AFT Local 1904 membership on statewide matters that impact our members and outlined areas that all can volunteer and participate across all levels of labor.

Thank-you Jen and Emari for attending and all our members for your engaged-participation!

Colleges brace for a harsh new reality as higher ed recession — or depression — looms Higher education institutions like Clark University are rethinking how they operate as enrollment slips, costs climb, and politics threaten international students, research funding, and financial aid.
