For decades, non-tenure track faculty have come together to ask for better working conditions: fair compensation, improved reappointment guidelines, consistent contract lengths, reasonable teaching loads, membership on committees, recognition within the Strategic Plan and a more secure future at Wellesley. Our collective action over the past few years has resulted in measurable gains, yet the system that exploits our labor remains intact and relatively unchanged. Now, after an overwhelming majority of eligible faculty voted YES, we have formed our Union.

No longer defined by what we are not, we are proud to call ourselves the WOAW faculty – the Wellesley Organized Academic Workers!

More than 80% of eligible NTT faculty have signed a union authorization card and an overwhelming majority of eligible faculty voted to authorize our union (90-8).
