About Us

UIC United Faculty is the labor union representing the bargaining units of Tenure/Tenure-Track and full-time Non-Tenure Track faculty (including visiting faculty) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Our union was certified by the Illinois Labor Relations Board in 2012 and approved our first contract in May 2014. We ratified our most recent contract agreement, ensuring annual raise pools, substantially improved minimum salaries, workload protections, and much more, in May 2019. It will remain in effect until its expiration in August 2022.

Making the promise of shared governance a reality by backing it with the power of collective bargaining.

Making sure that every member of the faculty has an individual voice and that the faculty as a whole has a collective voice in determining our future.

Keeping the principles of academic freedom, free speech and free inquiry central both to our union and our university.
