We seek to strengthen Tulane’s mission to enrich the capacity of our community to think, learn, act, and lead with integrity and wisdom. We know that this is only possible through a unionized Tulane Workers United.

Tulane instructors, lecturers, visiting professors, and professors of practice and now librarians are excited to be a part of a nation-wide movement to unionize academic workers! We are inspired and encouraged by the successes of unions in peer institutions who, through collective bargaining, have made great strides towards a more equitable and just higher education.

Unions offer university employees – and particularly those in the most precarious positions – equity, stability, job security, and a voice in the operations of their universities. Unions make it possible for Tulane employees to better serve their students and to advocate for the needs of their students, as well as the needs of their communities. Our working conditions are student learning conditions, and we know that we can improve both by uniting in solidarity with one another.
