WEST MICHIGAN FEDERATION OF COLLEGE EDUCATORS

WELCOME TO THE 
WEST MICHIGAN FEDERATION OF COLLEGE EDUCATORS!

Three labor unions representing over1500 part-time teachers and graduate teaching assistants at Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College are now united as the West Michigan Federation of College Educators (WMFCE) after a new constitution was ratified by the members of each union on Friday. Leaders of the three unions began developing this proposal back in April and their members voted online over a three-day period to ratify the WMFCE constitution.


Along with more than 650 part-time teachers WMU, the West Michigan Federation of College Educators will include more than 550 graduate teaching assistants at WMU and more than 300 part-time teachers at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Under the new agreement, each employee unit will retain its own contract and unique identity, while formally sharing leadership and resources.
