Unions are for fair pay and working conditions and social justice, too. They invented solidarity of standing together by and for each other, for better work and lives, and for greater voice and power. Check out a recent example of this in a 2 1/2 min. video with Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates, keynote speaker at CTA’s Women’s Leadership Conference in 2026. Video produced by J. Radinsky, 2023. Photo by N. Tikhomirov.
You have Weingarten Rights if or when management calls you in for a meeting that could lead to discipline or negatively impact your working conditions. If this happens, invoke them and contact SCFA! Check out the 6 min. video explainer by SAG-AFTRA. Find a printable card from CTA and learn more on this page of our site: Weingarten Rights. We have other rights too guaranteed through our Contract, Union, and law.
Unionization leads to better salaries across industries, improved benefits for members and their families, and stronger communities.
Check out this 2 min. video explainer, “The Union Effect in California,” UC Berkeley Labor Center, 2019. Within colleges, unions are growing, too: “The Union Boom in Higher Ed,” NEAToday, 2024; “College Faculty and Grad Student Unionization on the Rise…” Forbes, 2024. Read the original report from the UCLA Labor Center that informs these articles: “State of the Unions: California Labor.“
One faculty, one Union!
