Your vote always counts! Less than 2% separated the two Democrat endorsed winners from the next two, both Republican endorsed. But the difference in attitudes towards MSU workers and academic freedom was 100%.

This trustees race was insanely close. Less than 2% separates the top four candidates for MSU's Board of Trustees.

This university just dismissed me as a geographer on the TT along with 32 other professors. So apply at your own peril. This is looking more capricious every day.

We have reached a settlement with MSU that both our leadership team and our state federation, AFT Michigan, categorize as a historic win.

Fantastic member turnout at @michiganstateu HR building, to let MSU know our members support our talented negotiating team, which is there right now working hard to get MSU to give our members the wage raise they deserve.

Did you know a bargaining win for UNTF Members is a win for MSU? Interest-based bargaining takes research, wisdom, patience, awareness, and care. Teaching-focused faculty have spent many a semester honing these exact skills. We’re prepared and ready to bargain for a contract 1/5

Bargaining for a fair contract is hard work, but someone's gotta do it. #UnionStrong #UNTF #Solidarity

SIRS are discriminatory and oppose DEI, as has been proven by a variety of studies, yet they can still be leveraged at MSU to impact promotion and more for our members. We can, and must, do better. #MSU #UnionStrong #Solidarity #StrongerTogether

Maintaining and renewing union contracts may not be as hard as forming a union at Amazon, but it is hard work. Our bargaining team recently started contract negotiations - and we all hope to celebrate our eventual new contract like this! on.ft.com/3DF4qVA

While the levels of education, experience, and workload between teaching-focused faculty and research-focused faculty are comparable, our unit at @MichiganStateU has salaries that are, on average, 50% lower our peers. Supporting MSU students means supporting MSU teaching faculty.
