Portland State University Faculty Association - AFT PSUFA, founded in 1979, is one of the 1st local unions to represent part-time faculty and researches who work less than .5 FTE.

We negotiate contracts, increase our collective status, and facilitate communication between our members and the University. The Portland State University Faculty Association (PSUFA) is one of the very first local unions to represent part-time faculty (teaching less than .5 FTE). We are affiliated statewide with AFT-Oregon, and nationally with the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO. For nearly 40 years the Association has worked to establish the rights of part-time faculty to fair treatment in pay and working conditions as well as access to health care, job security, education, professional development, and academic freedom. PSUFA is a democratic union that involves membership and provides a voice for adjunct faculty in the university. Our work on behalf of all part-time faculty and researchers at PSU is supported by member dues and by agency fees.

SEIU STRIKE UPDATE: Management still has not brought a fair economic offer to the bargaining table. Their proposal is less than the cost of living, which means classified workers’ paychecks would be worth less 2 years from now. Unacceptable. MONDAY 7:30 AM, classified workers will not go into work. Join your co-workers on the picket line tomorrow all day!!
