NOW IS THE TIME TO FORM OUR UNION!

Maryland’s community college faculty are

Raises we can count on
Academic freedom
Job security for all faculty
Campus and classroom safety
Race, gender, and campus equity

Who we are



United Academics of Maryland is the statewide campaign to build unions for full time faculty at Maryland’s community colleges. After fighting for, and finally winning the right to collective bargaining for Community College employees in 2021, we’re coming together, college-by-college, to build strong, faculty-led unions committed to academic freedom, high-quality education, and respect and dignity for everyone on our campuses.

join your union today!
