We are 28,000 members strong in Maryland and over 100,000 workers strong at 70 higher education and community colleges across the country. We have bargained for real improvements on our wages and working conditions. Last year, we fought to pass HB894 ­ — a bill that gave community college workers the right to join together in a union.
