This week’s episode of “In the Know” features Don Sparks, a Pierce College physics instructor. He is also the president of the Pierce chapter of the American Federation of Teachers. He talks briefly about his responsibilities as a leader for the union, but focuses mostly on a campaign project that the union is currently organizing. A number of AFT’s interns will be going around classrooms in Pierce to recruit voters for the upcoming November elections. The interns will also be talking about Proposition 30 and 32, and their effects on the community college budget.
