It’s official: The AFT is welcoming 2,400 new faculty members at Oregon State University, where a strong majority signed cards affirming support for union membership. On June 27—the same day the Supreme Court voted against unions in Janus v. AFSCME—the Oregon Employment Relations Board officially certified the United Academics of Oregon State University. The new local, jointly affiliated with the AFT and the American Association of University Professors, flies in the face of naysayers who expected Janus to gut unions from the start. “The Supreme Court and its right-wing backers may have declared war on public sector unions, but the faculty at OSU, alongside millions of higher education workers nationwide, are sending another message: Don’t count us out,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten.
