The faculty of the UConn Health Center has voted to unionize under the representation of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).
As we enter into this new phase of our relationship with AAUP, we will continue our commitment to engage the faculty in decision-making, to understand and respond to its concerns, and to maintain two-way communications. Above all, we look forward to continuing working together for the betterment of this institution and those we serve.
We all care deeply about the Health Center. Working together, the faculty, staff and administration will continue to provide outstanding education, cutting-edge research and the highest quality care for Connecticut’s citizens.
Voting took place on Tuesday, Nov. 17, and Wednesday Nov. 18. Of the 519 eligible faculty members, 444 votes were cast and counted, or 86 percent. Unionization won by a margin of 223 to 221, or 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent.
