WITFed Begins Collective Bargaining for New 2023 Contract

Today, the Wentworth Faculty Federation returns to the bargaining table to start negotiating our new contract with Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Incidentally, 2023 marks 50 YEARS since our union was established (1973-2023), so it is with great pride that we continue our collective bargaining tradition. We seek a new multi-year agreement aimed at providing fair wages, fair scheduling, and a fair workload, so that we can fully focus on our mission: helping our students succeed both at school and in life.

According to the AFL-CIO:

"Collective bargaining is the process in which working people, through their unions, negotiate contracts with their employers to determine their terms of employment, including pay, benefits, hours, leave, job health and safety policies, ways to balance work and family, and more. Collective bargaining is a way to solve workplace problems. It is also the best means for raising wages in America. Indeed, through collective bargaining, working people in unions have higher wages, better benefits and safer workplaces."
