Our Campaigns

We are a public sector union. This means that the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, also known as the Wagner Act, does not apply to us at all! In fact, most federal workplace protections do not apply to us as a result of our state-based employment status. 

So, though we do not have the option to pass a resolution for collective bargaining, we still operate as a union without bargaining rights, like fire, police, and primary school teachers have for decades. We come together collectively as faculty, staff, and student workers to pressure higher-education institutions and the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) to win changes like fair pay, fair benefits, job security, and materially better treatment.
