faculty unions
Academic labor organizations
Faculty unions are labor organizations representing professors, instructors, and other academic staff at colleges and universities.
They negotiate collective bargaining agreements covering salaries, benefits, workload, and job security—particularly tenure protections.
The faculty union voted to authorize a strike over proposed budget cuts.
Graduate student instructors sometimes organize separately or join existing faculty unions.
