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!
If you add the numbers up, in two years the NT faculty
workload has gone up 15%. The Tenure track workload, down
5%.

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.

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.
