On Monday, December 6th, United Academics began a two week membership drive, aiming to strengthen ties between member and non-member colleagues and expand union membership. Despite UA’s membership comprising the vast majority (over 80%) of UVM’s instructional staff, more than 120 faculty remain non-UA members. UA hopes to connect with each and every one of these non-members, emphasizing the many benefits offered to union members and UA’s sustained success in securing faculty’s rights and interests. The drive will last until Friday, December 17th, though UA is committed to organizing more membership drives in the future.
UA members interested in helping with outreach tasks are encouraged to contact info@unitedacademics.org.
