Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW

Making USC a better place to work and learn. The union for adjuncts in the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

[UAW Region 6 @uawregion6]

"Between 2012 & 2023, the number of unionized graduate student & postdoctoral workers more than doubled, from roughly 64,000 to 150,000. Faculty unions also increased by 7%, from 374,000 to 402,000" Read how workers in California are playing a major role👇 https://t.co/Z6jccDxpe7

Proud to be an adjunct that's part of this fight for a fair contract.

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Last week, over 50 adjuncts rallied outside SCA to demand a fair contract. Our message to USC is clear: adjuncts are united and ready to take action. Status quo has got to go!

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Join our rally TOMORROW at 12pm in the SCA courtyard to show USC that adjuncts are serious about winning a fair contract.

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

"USC has strived mightily to achieve its standing as a world-class institution...we believe it cannot lay claim to that reputation without also prioritizing the well-being of the faculty who do the lion’s share of the teaching." https://t.co/MQxTl1E2NZ

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

USC has been delaying at the bargaining table. Join your fellow SCA adjuncts on Thursday at noon to show the administration that we are ready to take action to win the contract we deserve!

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

UAW 4811 members have voted by a super majority to authorize a strike.

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Solidarity with USC Postdocs and Research Associates, who are also forming a union with @UAW to improve their working conditions! #1

[USC Researchers and Fellows United - UAW @urfu_uaw]

Excited to announce that research associates and postdocs at USC are forming a union to fight for better working conditions! Our labor sustains the institution and we deserve a democratic voice in our workplace. Please sign your card here: https://t.co/94TGxslPO0

New: another blow-out yesterday. At the University of Southern California, part-time NTT faculty voted 206-13 in favor of representation by Adjunct Faculty Alliance – UAW according to the NLRB's tally of ballots

[Rafa @rafaeldjaime]

Another massive win by UAW higher Ed workers! Congrats @AFAatUSC!

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

We won our union! SCA Adjuncts voted 206-13 to form a union. 78% of all adjuncts participated. Adjunct faculty had hundreds of conversations with coworkers to secure this victory. Next up: winning a fair contract. ✊

[UAW Region 6 @uawregion6]

Today marks the beginning of TWO union elections in CA joining the surge of organizing to democratize higher ed: Graduate Researchers & Postdocs at Caltech @cgpu_uaw & Adjunct Faculty at USC School of Cinematic Arts @AFAatUSC. Your union siblings across Region 6 have your backs!

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Ballots for our union election go out today! Visit https://t.co/QXdrsW2Bdz for more information about how to vote.

[Zach Cannon @ZuluTangoCharly]

In my first semester as an adjunct professor at USC, I'm earning less per week than I would if I were on California's Unemployment Insurance. Plus, adjuncts get no benefits. The University doesn't even give us parking! A union can change that. Vote YES!

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Ballots will be mailed on Wednesday, January 31. Keep an eye out for yours and remember to vote YES as soon as you receive your ballot.

[Adjunct Faculty Alliance - UAW @AFAatUSC]

Vote YES to form a union!
