It is now 600 days since our union began bargaining. Management continues to refuse to discuss compensation adjustments in year two, which begins in 137 days. #UAKU #AFT #AAUP

A half-page ad in a newspaper reads “Lawrence is a union town. Tell KU: Stop Union-Busting! A fair contract for faculty is an investment in our community. Email KU Chancellor Girod today. United Academics of the University of Kansas, AFT, AAUP, AFL-CIO, @weareku, uaku.org.” A QR code leads to https://tinyurl.com/writeDoug to contact the chancellor.

KU faculty union still without contract nearly two years in; city commissioner urges progress Contract negotiations between KU’s administration and faculty union remain stalled after more than 600 days of bargaining, and a Lawrence city commissioner has joined those urging KU to end the delays...

Some good coverage of our contract fight. Yesterday marked one year since we passed our first compensation proposal. We are waiting for admin's latest counter after we corrected their math in the budget, and for their bargaining availability after they canceled on us twice. #UAKU #AFT #AAUP

20-some people of varying ages and genders raise fists and hold signs reading "Fair Contract Now" in a nondescript institutional meeting room.

A white man in a wool cap, scarf, cost and gloves stands in front of a painting of another white man in a business suit. The first person holds a sign reading "A contract is my respect language."

Our union rallied then marched to the chancellor's office. Admin didn't like our noise and cancelled today's bargaining. If they think we're going to fold and take a weak contact, they have misunderstood the assignment. #UAKU #AFT #AAUP
