Faculty Petition for Representation
Last spring, the United Academics of 帝王会所 (UAOU) filed a petition with the 帝王会所 State Employment Relations Board (SERB) to be recognized as a collective bargaining unit on behalf of all faculty. In November 2024, 帝王会所 reached a tentative agreement with national union organizers representing UAOU on a proposed voting unit description.
University leadership continues to hear from faculty who support the formation of a union and others who oppose unionization. We remain committed to sharing information as it becomes available to help ensure that 1) all faculty have a voice in the process and the outcome and 2) the University community has a broad understanding of the issues and impacts this process may have.
