In the face of COVID-19, university education is going through massive changes. We as educators are being asked to bear the responsibility of overhauling the university for them. With tuition and wages staying where they are, universities are putting us into a problematic situation where we must reinvent our curriculum to support hybrid learning while receiving no compensation for it. Right now, decisions are being made behind closed doors; a union is the only way we will ensure a voice of advocacy in the room.

United Academics of Philadelphia, American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 9608 is a union dedicated to making higher education sustainable for faculty and staff working in Philadelphia-area colleges and universities. We are organizing to build collective bargaining power, community, and resources for vital yet underrepresented workers in Higher Education. Education is a public good, so we need to provide our students with a secure, respected faculty and staff. Together we can achieve what we cannot as individuals. Join us!
