Faculty Election Order: July 16, 2021

As anticipated, this afternoon the University of Pittsburgh received notification of the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board’s order for a faculty union election. The election will be held by mail. The PLRB will mail ballots to all eligible voters on Friday, August 27, and ballots must be returned by Tuesday October 12, 2021. 

The University has always been clear that the question of faculty unionization is a faculty decision, and we will continue to keep all community members updated about the process.
