AFT Academics

Nevada faculty are grateful for all the solidarity today. Showing up meant the Regents moved up the agenda item. Our collective advocacy meant the Regents postponed changing collective bargaining policy changes and requesting more faculty input in future process on changes!

We had solidarity in Vegas, Reno, and in Elko! Labor in all corners of the state came out in solidarity to say "no" to changing the rules for collective bargaining in the middle of faculty contract negotiations! And the Regents backed down and postponed any changes! @higheredlabor.bsky.social

We're here with the Nevada Faculty Alliance to support the fight to preserve union rights and shared governance for Nevada's higher-ed workers. Solidarity! @nvfa.bsky.social @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social @aaup.org @thenvindy.com

@aaup.org & @aft.org's Summer Institute was such an inspirational training workshop!

Proud to have presented there on "How Your Advocacy Chapter Can Act Like a Union."

Want to know how to do that?

Get in touch for resources & to get connected w/ an organizer!

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. 

If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Congratulations to the 100 pediatric doctors at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma who won their union with @aft.org! www.thenewstribune.com/news/busines...

"The AAUP calls on Duke University and its board of trustees to immediately halt the separation process & lay off plans until faculty & staff representatives can be fully involved in any decision process that would impact Duke’s mission of providing a superior liberal education to its students."

Attacks on international students hurt all Americans.

International students contributed $43.8 billion and supported 378,175 jobs to the U.S. economy during the 2023-2024 academic year.

The Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to destroy higher education in the United States. It now demands that we sacrifice our international students in the process. Universities cannot acquiesce to such extortion.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Musk and the DOGE want to use NLRB data to intimidate workers, whistleblowers, unions and anyone who may want to hold them accountable for their disgusting union-busting.

Let's be clear: the labor movement will not back down.

Where Students Have Had Their Visas Revoked The Trump administration has quietly revoked hundreds of student visas across the country, wreaking havoc on the system.

After tracking visa revocations for a week, the map is up to 976 students. (For reference: we started with 147 students.)
