Our Position...

We feel strongly about the need for a union at Illinois State University.  Please read this article to see why it is important to Unionize NOW!


Teaching Loads

Union Election Approaches

Administration Works to Exclude NTTs from Voting

Who will be eligible to vote in the upcoming election?  We don't know yet, but we can explain both the NTTFA's position and the university's position.

Our position is that all NTTs should be allowed to vote.  No part-time or newly-hired NTTs should be excluded.  We all do the same work, so we all should be eligible to vote.

The administration's position was stated in a letter to the labor board on October 29 and would prevent at least 270 of the 400 NTTs teaching this semester from voting.

 
News The ISU Nontenure-track Faculty Association-IEA/NEA is pleased to announce
that the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board has set the union representation election for WEDNESDAY APRIL 23 from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Bone Student Center (probably the Founders Room).

More details to follow as known.

What NTTs Think

The NTTFA wants to know what you think!  Last spring the board of higher education studied nontenure track faculty and reached some surprising conclusions.  The NTT FA assessed the IBHE study then conducted our own.  See how the two compare here.
