In late March, Molly Miranker received distressing, yet all-too-common news for non-tenure track (NTT) faculty members at Loyola Marymount University (LMU): Her contract for next semester was canceled, so she was out of a job. It was bad timing for Miranker who was five months pregnant and carries health insurance through the university for herself and her husband.

“We need a strong union and for LMU to get back to the bargaining table with us,” Miranker says. “With a strong union contract, we can avoid issues like mine,” Miranker says.

LMU has lost sight of its mission by: refusing to recognize unionized non-tenure track (NTT) faculty; spending millions on advertising and off-campus projects; increasing tuition leaving so that it leaves many students in long-term debt.

We’re not accepting this. We’re organizing. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community supporters to join the LMU Organizing Committee.

The LMU Staff Senate passed a resolution calling on the admin and board of trustees to return to contract bargaining with unionized non-tenure track (NTT) faculty! See link in bio under “statements of support” to learn more.

The resolutions says the senate stands in solidarity with NTT faculty and urges the admin and board to engage in good faith contract negotiations. It also says the admin and board’s decision to cynically claim a religious exemption to labor law “impacts the ability of staff to unionize for our rights, dignity, and compensation.”

LMU NTT faculty member? Join your colleagues by submitting your ULP Strike Pledge today and encouraging your colleagues to sign, too. Find the pledge at the link in bio!

Why are we taking this step? Because LMU Board Chair Paul Viviano and President Thomas P**n have joined Donald Trump’s war on faculty, workers, and higher education.

Last semester, P**n and Viviano attempted to bust our union with a cynical claim of religious exemption from labor law that our faculty theologians say violates Catholic social teaching and Jesuit values.

Sign the pledge today and join us in fighting back!
