Decades of underinvestment and escalating attacks on higher education are hurting workers and students across Oregon. Higher education workers are organizing like never before to protect our campuses, defend educators and students, and win the investments our communities need. Our collective action has never been more critical, and we can’t stop now.

On Saturday, October 11th, higher education workers from AFT-Oregon, SEIU 503, OEA, Oregon AAUP, OSEA, AFSCME Council 75, and APSOU will gather at Western Oregon University for the 2025 Oregon Higher Education Labor Summit. Throughout the day, we’ll explore and discuss key topics around higher education funding, legislative and organizing goals, and building the cross-union relationships that make us stronger.
