   Because Academic Freedom is not Free

UW-AAUP

Why UW faculty members support HB 2403 and SB 6440

  • t is only fair that UW faculty should have the same rights as 90 percent of employed Americans
  •  
  • It gives faculty the option of collective bargaining
  •  
  • It recognizes and strengthens the system of shared governance, academic freedom, and the faculty code
  •  
  • It carefully delineates bargainable economic issues and nonbargainable academic issues
  •  
  • Strikes and lockouts are prohibited
  •  
  • The UW Faculty Senate has been seeking enabling legislation for almost three decades
  •  
  • Major universities across the country operate under similar laws. Some are unionized, many are not. It is the right to choose that matters.

It is all about CHOICE and basic RIGHTS!

Please support HB 2403 and SB 6440
