Who We AreThe Congress of Connecticut Community Colleges, the 4C's, is the union which represents both full-time and part-time professionals at Connecticut's twelve community colleges. Members are faculty, as well as administrators, counselors, and librarians (known as ACLs) or Educational Assistants (EAs). Since 1973, we have negotiated union contracts that have made significant improvements in the wages and rights of employees in our system.
Members Run the Union
At each college, members form a union chapter. Chapters meet during the academic year to discuss campus issues and concerns, to update members on negotiations or statewide campaigns, and to sponsor social or educational activities. Each chapter selects its own chapter leaders, as well as delegates and committee representatives. Every two years, members vote for colleagues to serve as Union Officers.
