Our historic resolution to support pre-contract unionism in higher-ed has officially passed on the floor of the AFT convention! This win gives us the resources to build on the already explosive growth and incredible victories of non-collective bargaining chapters across the US. @aft.org @aaup.org

Bethany Letiecq—President of Virginia AAUP and George Mason AAUP member—on fighting and winning as pre-contract union members. Give them a follow to support Virginia AAUP-AFT's fight for collective bargaining rights: @aaupvirginia.bsky.social @aaupmason.bsky.social @aft.org @aaup.org

What does "pre-contract unionism" mean? It means we become a union by acting like a union. Many of us don't have collective bargaining rights, but that doesn't stop us from coming together as colleagues and using our collective power to fight for ourselves and our students. @aft.org @aaup.org

We are winning, and you can be part of it by becoming a member of AAUP-AFT today! Join the biggest, strongest higher education union in the country by visiting our website local6741.org or aaup.org/join. #UnionStrong @aaup.org @aft.org @proftwolf.bsky.social
