University Of New Mexico Faculty Secure Union Contract
AFT News:
ALBUQUERQUE — Faculty at the University of New Mexico (UNM) have agreed to terms on a historic first contract, drawing on the power of collective action to overcome the challenges of the pandemic and win significant and enduring gains at the bargaining table.
The faculty union, United Academics of the University of New Mexico, reached the tentative agreement May 19 to secure pay raises and job security protections for the most vulnerable full- and part-time faculty and to create pathways of relief from an overly burdensome workload. The agreement covers over 1,600 full- and part-time faculty.
