Abstract: The article discusses the evolution of the Henry Ford Community College Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 1650, highlighting its role in academic collective bargaining and shared governance over its sixty-year history. Established in 1966, Local 1650 represents full-time faculty and has focused on ensuring faculty involvement in academic policy-making, which was solidified through a successful strike for shared governance. Recent developments include the establishment of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officer, the creation of a faculty senate committee on artificial intelligence (AI), and the introduction of a comprehensive parental leave policy, all driven by newer members advocating for inclusivity and adaptability in response to societal changes and challenges. The article emphasizes the importance of integrating new perspectives while maintaining the foundational principles of shared governance. [Extracted from the article]
