Last week, the authorized parties finalized our new 2025–2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), following ratification by the membership in the vote completed on February 13.
While no contract secures everything we sought, this agreement advances faculty economic security, preserves core benefits, strengthens due process and faculty participation, and makes gains in fairness and transparency in support of faculty work.
It also reflects the steady, determined engagement of our members. Reaching a new CBA is never the effort of a few; it is the result of collective commitment, shared resolve, and a clear focus on our priorities.
We extend our sincere thanks to the members of our bargaining team, the Salary and Benefits Committee, the Steering Committee, Contract Action Team (CAT) leaders and members, FAC liaisons, FAC members, and the many students and other supporters (both seen and unseen!) who contributed throughout this process.
Because of that collective effort through a long and challenging bargaining cycle, we move forward with a strong contract, an even stronger union, and a clear understanding that the same solidarity and steady engagement that carried us through bargaining will guide us in the opportunities and challenges ahead.
