United Academics of Philadelphia, American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 9608 is a union dedicated to making higher education sustainable for faculty and staff working in Philadelphia-area colleges and universities. We are organizing to build collective bargaining power, community, and resources for vital yet underrepresented workers in Higher Education. Education is a public good, so we need to provide our students with a secure, respected faculty and staff. Together we can achieve what we cannot as individuals. Join us!
