Join Your Union

Are you faculty, staff, or a student worker at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona, or Maricopa Community Colleges? Join your union!

Are you interested in joining but not 100% sure? Do you have some questions about dues, or "wall-to-wall", or the point of unions in a "right-to-work" state? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, or find some quick answers below.

• Dues: what are they, why you pay them, and more on the sliding scale
• Unionizing without a contract: why what we're doing is important regardless of collective bargaining rights
• Privacy: who will know if you've joined
• Wall-to-wall: why we organize faculty, staff, and students

1. Make a one-time or recurring donation using this link. 
2. Join using the above form as a "non-voting community supporter". You will have all the functional parts of membership (access to our discussion platform, our weekly newsletters, and more) but will not be able to cast a ballot in member-wide votes and elections.

The Political Action Fund is a non-partisan political action committee that fights for workers’ political power. This gives us a chance to have our voices heard at all levels of government, which is so important right now, considering the upcoming elections. PAF contributions support policies and candidates that defend workers rights. 

Did you know that some of your very own union members are running for office to make a material difference in local, state, and national policy? To make the changes we need to achieve collective bargaining, to protect academic freedom, to win more public funding for education, thriving wages, and job security, we need pro-union politicians in office at the state level. 

As a member-led, rank and file organization, UCWAZ is able to continue organizing Arizona’s higher education workers because members like you fund our collective work. Thank you for your commitment in fighting for our vision of higher education that works for all students and workers!
