We at PSU-AAUP take pride in supporting everyone in our bargaining unit. We represent over 1,130 Portland State Faculty and Academic Professionals at the bargaining table, through the grievance process, and legislative work at the Capitol.
Collective Bargaining for your workplace rights is at the heart of all that we do here at PSU-AAUP. We strive to maintain high standards in your workplace because we believe that University working conditions are student learning conditions. Whether at the bargaining table or engaging with University administrators to maintain the current contract PSU-AAUP is working for you!
To get the scoop on current negotiations and other bargaining matters, please visit our Collective Bargaining blog.

PIVOT is PSU’s multi‑year initiative aimed at closing a projected structural deficit by 2028, building on prior budget‑cutting efforts at PSU.
