We are joining together in a union so we can bargain collectively with USC, because together we have far more power to negotiate than we have as individuals. Collective bargaining means more rights and more capacity to shape our own lives. We are joining tens of thousands of UAW faculty across the US in fighting for better working conditions, wages, and benefits.

Without a union:

  • USC unilaterally determines our working conditions and can change them at any time without our consent.

With a union:

  • We elect a bargaining committee that gathers input from RTPC faculty across UPC and HSC campuses.
  • Our bargaining committee negotiates on equal footing toward a fair agreement with USC.
  • We decide democratically, through a vote, whether to approve any agreement as our contract.
  • That contract secures our terms and conditions of employment and is binding and enforceable through appeal to a neutral arbitrator.
