Leading the way in union reform

(02/27/18 5:44pm)

This week the Supreme Court will be hearing a case that stands to profoundly affect the power of public sector unions in the United States. In Janus v. American Federations of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), the Supreme Court is expected to make the entire public sector right-to-work-for-less. Unions will be required to bargain for and represent non-members who pay nothing for those services. The lawsuit is backed by corporate special interests who have mounted a decades-long attack on the rights of working people.

Setting the record straight about unionizing at Duke

(12/15/16 2:43pm)

We have followed the passionate discussions in The Chronicle and across campus regarding the unionization of Duke graduate students, and we have noticed that our experiences as members of the faculty union differ in significant ways from what is being said with respect to unionization and how it functions. As Duke faculty who have formed a union with SEIU, we want to set the record straight about our experience as members of a union on campus. In March, we voted by an overwhelming majority (6 to 1) to form a union so that we could collectively bargain with the administration over our working conditions. Much like the Duke graduate students, we also experienced a tough, public discussion about the merits of unionization. Now that we're at the bargaining table, we see how transformative the process is and are very glad we made the choice we did.
