We Support the Duke University Press Workers Union

April 2, 2021

The more than 6,000 members of Rutgers AAUP-AFT Local 6323, the union of full-time faculty and graduate student workers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, stand in solidarity with the Duke University Press Workers Union as they take the important step of forming their own union.

We stand with DUPWU as they organize for a stable, fair, and equitable workplace where workers will earn better wages and work free from discrimination and fear. As academic workers ourselves who rely on professional editors, designers, publicists, and other workers at Duke University Press and university presses like it, we recognize the absolute centrality of their work to the core mission of higher education: research and teaching in the public interest. We call on Duke University and DUP to voluntarily recognize the Duke University Press Workers Union without forcing an NLRB election.
