Nevada faculty are grateful for all the solidarity today. Showing up meant the Regents moved up the agenda item. Our collective advocacy meant the Regents postponed changing collective bargaining policy changes and requesting more faculty input in future process on changes!
We're here with the Nevada Faculty Alliance to support the fight to preserve union rights and shared governance for Nevada's higher-ed workers. Solidarity! @nvfa.bsky.social @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social @aaup.org @thenvindy.com

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.

Oh, I get to issue my several times a year reminder:

Do not boycott a store you usually shop at if folks are trying to unionize/pressure for a contract/make changes UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY ASK YOU TO. Anything else can help management.
I have seen some influencer accounts calling for various types of workers to go on strike, or suggesting a boycott the workers have not asked for.

Don’t do that. Listen to the workers

And Regents did vote to suspend faculty performance pay for FY2026 and FY2027. With no merit steps, no COLAs, the expiration of retention bonuses, and higher employee retirement contributions, faculty pay decreases on July 1, 2025. There is no suspension of inflation in cost of living! #NSHE #NvLeg
Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social members: Today the Board of Regents will decide to suspend merit pay for the next biennium. Faculty compensation needs to be prioritized in budgets. Make your voice heard!

The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social made one-on-one meetings with legislators, followed up with one-pagers and handouts on our priorities and key bills--not to mention the quick hallway or elevator discussions. Advocating for #HigherEd faculty at the #NVLeg

How can you tell a paid lobbyist from an unpaid faculty lobbyist? Faculty will listen to the question you asked in a hearing and then bring you the stats and research to answer it in our one-on-one that day. @nvfa.bsky.social advocacy at the #NVLeg
