United University Professions, the State University of New York system’s faculty union, cemented its contract win last week. (POTENTIAL) STRIKE ALERT: The Harvard Academic Workers union, which represents 2,500 non-tenure-track teachers and researchers at Harvard University, voted on July 25 to authorize a strike. Union members hold signs that spell “no confidence” at the Board of Trustees meeting. Todd Wolfson, who was elected president of the AAUP in June 2024, has not shied away from political fights. More charges are coming, according to union chair Nadene Vevea, who said the college has not bargained in good faith.
