CAMPUS WORKERS BUILDING POWER AND WINNING CHANGE
PROUD MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
WHO WE ARE
We are the contingent and full-time faculty, graduate workers, staff, post-doctoral researchers, undergraduate workers, and academic librarians who are the backbone of higher education in the US. At a time when corporate interests are overtaking the educational mission of the academy, we are uniting across classifications, campuses, and states to fight back.
By coming together as workers we can take on the administrative bloat, financialization, and casualization of the academy, and end the poverty wages and deteriorating working conditions that come with it.
Join us as we build the power to set industry standards that support academic workers so we can do what we love without struggling to live.
learn the skills. build a movement.
