WE’RE VOTING YES FOR A STRONGER FACULTY VOICE AT USC!

Election Information:

When: Friday, April 24th to Monday, June 1st (extended from May 15th)

Where: By Mail

Who: According to the regional NLRB decision, faculty eligible to vote are those in the unit who are listed below and were employed during the payroll period ending February 28, 2026, including employees who did not work during that period because they were ill, on vacation, or temporarily laid off. If you have questions about your specific eligibility, please send us an email at info@unitedfaculty-uaw.org.

  • Included: All full-time, part-time and/or adjunct Research-track, Teaching-track, Practitioner track, and/or Clinical-track faculty (collectively referred to as “RTPC Faculty” and/or “Non- Tenure Track Faculty”) employed by the University of Southern California in Los Angeles County.
  • Excluded: All tenured or tenure-track faculty; all faculty in the Keck School of Medicine; all faculty employed at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles; all part-time and/or adjunct faculty in the USC School of Cinematic Arts; all visiting faculty; all emeritus faculty; all RTPC faculty permanently employed outside Los Angeles County; all non-faculty employees; and all managers, guards, and supervisors as defined in the Act, as amended. 

All faculty were mailed a ballot on April 24th, 2026. Some faculty have not yet received ballots due to the fact that USC submitted hundreds of addresses that were missing apartment or unit numbers to the regional NLRB. For this reason, voting has been extended, and ballots will be re-sent to these faculty starting Wednesday, May 13th at 5 PM. The new date for the NLRB to receive all ballots is Monday, June 1st by 5:00 PM.

If you do not receive a ballot in the mail, you can call the NLRB Region 31 office at (310) 235-7351 to request a new one. If you receive a ballot, you are eligible to vote, even if you are not working this semester. Ballots will be counted at the regional NLRB office on Tuesday, June 2nd.
