Majority Reached, Requesting Formal Recognition

Our movement to gain the fairness, respect, and voice we deserve has just taken a major step forward. Now that we have authorization cards from a clear majority of faculty, it’s time to act. We are excited to share two historic actions we took today:

Action 1: The Union of Tenure System Faculty (UTSF) has filed a petition with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) seeking formal recognition of our union, which will represent nearly 1,800 tenure system faculty at Michigan State University.

Action 2: The UTSF has requested formal recognition as the legal collective bargaining agent for all tenure system faculty at MSU from the Board of Trustees (BoT).

Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for further updates. To help build our movement, we invite you to volunteer to get involved and to spread the word on Facebook and Twitter.

Our faculty voice has gone unheard for too long. Today’s actions are tangible steps toward securing our seat at the table.

Happy early New Year!
