Bargaining
Welcome to Loyola University Chicago’s Collective Bargaining Update Website. This site will serve as a clearinghouse for the latest information pertaining to Loyola’s collective bargaining with SEIU Local 73, which represents non-tenure-track full- and part-time faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and the English Language Learning Program (ELLP). We are committed to sharing the latest bargaining updates and background information as we work towards reaching a fair contract that’s good for everyone: our faculty, our students, and our Loyola community.
Note: The University provided the Union notice that the University intends to terminate the English Language Learning (ELLP) Agreement effective June 30, 2021. The University’s ELLP program has struggled with serious declines in enrollment for the last several years, and there are no longer any unionized faculty members employed in the Union.
Update
A new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with Loyola's non-tenure-track faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) was approved by the University’s Board of Trustees on June 3, after it was ratified by CAS non-tenure-track faculty represented in the negotiations by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 73.
