New SIUE Faculty Association to ratify first comprehensive union contract
Organized in 2016, the SIU Edwardsville Faculty Association represents some 400 tenure-line faculty. The FA has built upon an initial interim agreement from 2017 and last month concluded negotiations for their first comprehensive accord. Subject to ratification by FA membership in August, the contract will run through FY 2022.
