In the Northeast, where we have deep collective bargaining traditions, we have an opportunity to learn from each other and build power to fight for our shared goals and values. This Bargaining Summit brings together higher ed unions from across the northeast to build a common agenda for our region–to set new floors on wages, working conditions, and quality education. Share contract wins and struggles: Learn from one another’s experiences, with time dedicated to learning from others across the full range of job categories and institutions, including community colleges, 4-year universities, and research institutions. Dig into key issues: There will be breakouts on wages, workload, job security, safety, and more Plan for the future: Together, we’ll start developing a shared bargaining platform — common goals and demands that we can fight for collectively, strengthening our voice across states and across sectors. For more information, please email Ian Gavigan, HELU’s Executive Director. https://actionnetwork.org/ticketed_events/helu-northeast-regional-bargaining-summit-january-2026
