Penn State Faculty Members have filed to form a Union with the Penn State Faculty Alliance (PSFA)-Service Employees International Union (⁠SEIU) Local 668. Members of the Organizing Committee were joined by fellow Union Allies from across the State and the country in Harrisburg, as they announced the filing - the largest Union Campaign in Pennsylvania’s Public Sector in decades. The Union will represent thousands of Faculty Members - including tenured and contingent, full-time and part-time Faculty across Penn State University’s Campuses. Local 668 President Steve Catanese said: “This is the biggest Union Election for a single filing in the Public Sector History in Pennsylvania, (6,000) Workers.” Kate Ragon, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Labor and Employment Relations, said: “The deep care we have for our students, for our research, for our community - as strong as it is, cannot sustain us through burnout, unrealistic workloads, staffing challenges, low pay and uncertain job security. We are forming a Union because we want a voice in the decision-making that affects us, our students, and our work.”
