Arizona State University (ASU)

We are proud to represent workers at Arizona State University, the largest public university in the United States. Unfortunately, pride does not pay our bills. Workers at ASU have been organizing for better wages, benefits, and working conditions since at least 2020. UCWAZ has won major victories at ASU for graduate workers, university staff, and faculty.

We are making ASU a better place to work for all. Will you join us?

Below are our current campaigns at ASU. Please sign and share to increase our reach and to protect workers' rights!

We need your support to ensure dignified jobs and fair wages. UCWAZ believes that all workers must be paid thriving wages in Arizona. 

This goes hand-in-hand with Arizona State University’s Charter as a:

“comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed…[while also] assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves.”

United Campus Workers of Arizona need your support to ensure fair working conditions for Contingent Faculty throughout the university system in Arizona.

Contingent Faculty are faculty members in higher education who are hired only for short-term contracts and excluded from the opportunity to earn tenure. Across the country, and right here at ASU and UA, Contingent Faculty outnumber traditional tenure-track university faculty. Contingent faculty now comprise at least 53% of all faculty appointments at UA and 61% at ASU, and these numbers continue to rise. Contingent Faculty members are disproportionately women and people of color. We teach the majority of undergraduate students and provide extensive course design at both universities. As faculty who perform essential labor, we demand fair working conditions: job security, paths to promotion, and thriving wages.
