A brief history
The Eastern Michigan University Federation of Teachers Union (EMUFT) organized on campus in the late 1990's to support all full-time, non-tenure track faculty. During the formative years of EMUFT, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) were not clear if Part-Time Lecturers were eligible to participate with the collective bargaining for EMUFT. It was the hope of EMUFT Full-time Lecturers to form a strong union, with the goal of including Part-time Lecturers in future negotiation agreements.
In 2009, MERC changed its stance, allowing Part-Time Lecturers to organize. An affiliation election was held in 2010, bargaining began in 2011, and later that year a contract was signed. The union now has two contracts, one for Full-time and one for Part-time Lecturers at Eastern Michigan University.
EMUFT members are part of a larger community of over 3,000 AFT local affiliates and 1.7 million members nationwide. EMUFT strives to improve conditions for non-tenure track faculty at Eastern Michigan University, focusing on teaching and learning conditions for faculty and students alike.
