On February 28, 2024 The UFISU Bargaining Team put forth a comprehensive proposal that sought to replicate what works at ISU and at similar institutions, and rectify what doesn't.   

Establishing a respectful Labor-Management Relationship.

Our working conditions are our students' learning conditions.

Fair pay for all our work

Ensure all faculty have the resources and support they need to be successful in teaching, research, and creative activities, including safe, clean, and up-to-date working and learning spaces;

Advance genuine inclusion, access, and equity for all faculty;

Ensure all faculty receive fair wages and consistent raises that adequately value and compensate workload in teaching, scholarly, and creative productivity, and service while addressing the cost of living, compression, inversion, and equity considerations;

Work with the Academic Senate to improve shared governance, administrative transparency, and due process at ISU;

Advocate for mental health, wellness, and student support services that will enable all students to learn and thrive in our classrooms;

Work collaboratively with other groups to uphold the common mission of making ISU a great place to work and learn.
