We’re Joining Together for a Better Teachers College

As student workers, we are coming together as a union so we can bargain collectively with Teachers College. We are joining the thousands of academic workers at Columbia who have secured a better future through collective bargaining, and we are part of a growing national movement at Universities such as NYU, The New School, Harvard, and the University of California, where unionized student workers have negotiated meaningful improvements to salary, benefits, and working conditions.

Without collective bargaining, we have experienced stagnant salaries, inadequate benefits, and threats to our academic freedom. If our benefits and working conditions are secured in a collective bargaining agreement, TC cannot change the terms of our employment without our consent. As employees across TC, we have formed a union in order to improve our working conditions and to make the university a more equitable and accessible institution for teaching and learning.
