The Nevada Faculty Alliance thanks #NSHE Regents who spoke up and demanded that faculty and NFA be brought to the table for an open, transparent process for any policy changes to our collective bargaining process.

The Nevada Faculty Alliance is grateful to all who showed up to give public comment and to highlight how the policy changes for collective bargaining hamper the process, cause confusion, and take away from education! Solidarity wins the day!

Thanks to solidarity from @aft.org and @aflcio.org, the #NSHE Board of Regents did NOT change the collective bargaining policy. Faculty negotiating contracts now will continue to do so under the current rules! #WhenWeFightWeWin!

NFA has been attempting to get our right to collectively bargain in state law for the past 8 years (#AB191 #NVLeg). Having only an internal #NSHE process means our management makes the rules and can change the rules--even in the middle of contract negotiations.

#CallToAction: Submit public comment and tell #NSHE Board of Regents to oppose changes to Title 4, Chapter 4. Faculty are negotiating new collective bargaining contracts now. Don't change the rules mid-negotiations: nshe.nevada.edu/regents/publ...

The #NSHE Board of Regents opposed having faculty collective bargaining rights in state law with #AB191 at the #NVLeg. Now they want to change their own internal limited bargaining process for faculty: www.nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/... Faculty are negotiating NOW. Oppose the changes.

NFA's team in Carson City is working on a final push for our legislative priorities. Up first: AB 191 our collective bargaining bill!
Nevada Faculty Alliance asks for a hearing in Assembly Ways and Means for AB 1919 which has been sitting in the committee since Day 71. This bill gives faculty and other professionals the right to collectively bargain. Call to action: Ask your representatives for a hearing on collective bargaining rights!
