Amendment/Extension Ratified

September 01, 2020/ David Scott

In case you missed it, over the summer, Union members voted overwhelmingly to ratify an amendment to (and extension of) the collective bargaining agreement. We were particularly pleased to gain new and important protections for members whose workload fluctuates with changes in enrollment. We also achieved stronger recall rights for any faculty member who does not receive a teaching assignment. Such expressions of individual concern for community well-being are a cornerstone of our Union.

Berklee Faculty Union

We're the Berklee Faculty Union, established in 1986, a chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, Local 4412, AFT-MA, AFL-CIO.

When a person becomes a faculty member at Berklee College of Music they can choose their level of membership within the Union.

For the Berklee faculty, our union is imperative. Through our collective efforts, we’ve lowered our classroom hours, assured our pay is acceptable, and protected our best interests in contract negotiations. We’re backed not only by each other, but by the resources and skills of the AFT.

Without our union, we’d go backwards. Let’s keep going forward.
