ALT Today the AAUP negotiating team and Adelphi Administration reached a tentative agreement on a five year contract! Both teams worked hard to find areas of agreement and we have arrived at the basis for a historic contract that invests in Adelphi and its faculty for the long term. We have many exciting wins to share. Here are just a few highlights:
Thanks to all for helping make our Day of Action for Academic Freedom a great success! Students and faculty agree: free speech, makes for a great education environment. #dayofactionforhighered

🚨THIS IS HUGE.🚨
ALT Workers United and Starbucks share a commitment to developing a productive relationship in the best interests of Starbucks partners. During mediation discussions last week over ongoing brand and IP litigation, a constructive path forward emerged on the broader issues of the future of organizing and collective bargaining at Starbucks. To build on that path, Workers United and Starbucks have agreed to begin discussions on a foundational framework to achieve collective bargaining agreements for represented stores and partners, the resolution of litigation between the union and the company, including brand litigation, and a fair process for workers to organize. As a sign of good faith, Starbucks has agreed to provide workers represented by Workers United with credit card tipping and benefits announced by the company in May of 2022. While there is plenty of work ahead, coming together to develop this framework is a significant step forward and a clear demonstration of a shared commitment.
This week we celebrated the 50th Birthday of AAUP at Adelphi! We also honored Debbie Cooperstein, longtime Union President and fierce fighter for faculty rights, for her 50th year at Adelphi. Featuring special guest Cathy Cleaver dialing in from Spain!
Faculty, please join us on Wednesday 12/6 for celebration of our achievements together from 1973 to today! RSVP by Monday 11/27: forms.gle/vE4hM1kVKoeFiYnh6
Solidarity with @uaw as they start a stand up strike against Big 3 automakers. The automakers have been making record profits, and the workers should share in the wealth.
Fun fact: @UAWRegion9A actually organizes many academic unions in the New York area. University professors or factory workers, we all deserve dignity and good pay!
ALT Thanks to the President and Provost and the administrative negotiating team for working hard with us all semester and summer to address these and other critical challenges for the University, and for making these investments in our future.
ALT And thanks to all of you for standing up and showing your support and solidarity: every time you did, we had a breakthrough at the negotiating table!
ALT We will compile a more detailed summary of changes as well as full contract text after finalizing language in a few places. Please join us at our full faculty meeting this Thursday at 1 PM for much more information.
ALT Historic job protections for full-time faculty: new minimum faculty numbers as a ratio to students, guaranteed proportion of tenure lines
New protections for junior faculty
New disability leave benefit for adjunct faculty,; increase in number of senior adjuncts
New promotion levels for non-tenure track faculty and opportunity for sabbaticals
403b retirement plan protected
Increased guaranteed minimum funding for conference travel

Congrats to our siblings at the #Teamsters! @TeamsterRnF ran a thoughtful and well organized campaign with a credible threat of strike, and it appears they won some critical and well deserved wage and job protections. (1/2)
💥“WE’VE CHANGED THE GAME”: TEAMSTERS WIN HISTORIC UPS CONTRACT💥
Today, the #Teamsters reached the most historic tentative agreement for workers in the history of @UPS, protecting and rewarding more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide. #1u
It's up to the members to say if the deal is acceptable, but in the meantime we congratulate them on the TA. Without the work of the Teamsters, @UPS couldn't succeed! (2/2)
Solidarity with @sagaftra joining @WGAEast on the picket line. Just as we are fighting against adjunctification and for fair, living wages reflecting the necessity of our labor, our union siblings in the entertainment industry are fighting a similar fight. ✊
Here’s the simple truth: We’re up against a system where those in charge of multibillion-dollar media conglomerates are rewarded for exploiting workers. We’re fighting for the survival of our profession.
