We are joining together for a better Columbia University. Collective bargaining means more rights and more power to shape our lives at Columbia University. Collectively we have more power to negotiate with Columbia University than we have as individuals. 

We are joining thousands of UAW educators across the U.S. in efforts to achieve better working conditions, wages & benefits.

WITHOUT A UNION

• Columbia University unilaterally determines our working conditions and can change them at any time without our consent.

WITH A UNION

• We elect a bargaining committee that gathers input from faculty across campus. 
• Our bargaining committee negotiates on equal footing toward a fair agreement with Columbia University. 
• We decide democratically, through a vote, whether to approve any agreement as our contract.
• That contract secures our terms and conditions of employment and is binding and enforceable, usually through appeal to a neutral arbitrator.
