Howard University: SEIU Files To Represent FT NTT Faculty Unit
|
Howard University, NLRB Case No. 05-RC-208474
On October 24, 2017, SEIU filed a petition seeking to represent a unit of 107 full-time non-tenure track faculty members at Howard University. In May, 2014, SEIU was certified to represent a unit of part-time non-tenure track faculty at the university, which led to a first contract in 2016.
As a matter of labor history, Howard University was one of the first institutions after World War II to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement applicable to its faculty. The collective bargaining relationship, however, collapsed after the expiration of the contract during the heyday of McCarthyism.
The following is the proposed unit sought in SEIU's pending representation petition:
Included
: All full-time faculty of the employer based in Washington, DC, Appointed to a non-tenure position.
Excluded: All other employees, all employees of the Howard University Schools of Dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, divinity, business, and law, and managers, guards and supervisors as defined by the Act.

Washington Univ.: GSE Election Inconclusive with 174 Ballot Challenges
|
Washington University, NLRB Case No. 14-RC-206299
On October 26, 2017, NLRB Region 14 tallied the ballots in an election concerning a petition filed by SEIU seeking to represent a unit of graduate student employees (GSE) working at Washington University. Of the 494 eligible voters, 216 voted against SEIU representation, 174 voted in favor, with an an additional 174 ballots challenged.
Following the tally, Washington University filed a
Request for Review with the NLRB seeking review of the Regional Director's
Decision and Direction of Election, which directed the holding of the GSE election. Washington University also renewed its motion to stay all proceedings pending the outcome of the claims filed by various universities requesting the newly constituted NLRB Board to overturn the decision in
Columbia University, 364 NLRB No. 90 (2016).
On November 7, 2017, the NLRB Region 14 Director scheduled a hearing concerning the 174 challenged ballots in the Washington University GSE election. The hearing was rescheduled to November 30, 2017 following a motion by Washington University and with the consent of SEIU.
Included: All graduate students who are in departments and programs of the College of Arts and Sciences, housed on the Danforth Campus, who are working toward PhD degrees offered by the Employer's Graduate School and who are employed by the Employer to provide instructional services in undergraduate or graduate classrooms or labs or to provide research services in a department or program of the College of Arts and Sciences, housed on the Danforth Campus, including, but not limited to, such workers known as Graders, Instructors, and Assistants to Instructor, also known as Teaching Assistants, Research Assistants, Instructional Aides, Mentored Teaching Experiences (MTE), and Mentored Research Experiences (MRE).

Georgetown University: GSE Seek Voluntary Recogntion
|
According to an
article in Inside Higher Ed, the Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees-AFT has submitted a
letter, dated November 1, 2017 to Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia requesting that the university grant voluntary recognition to the American Federation of Teacher as the exclusive representative of a unit of graduate student employees.
Georgetown University, like other institutions, has the authority to grant voluntary recognition to the union to represent its graduate students regardless of the state of the law regarding the employee status of graduate students under the National Labor Relations Act.

Iowa Legal Changes and Recertifications in September/October 2017
|
|
Background
In 2017, Iowa enacted
House File (HF) 291 that made sweeping changes to that state's public sector collective bargaining law. The changes imposed by HF 291 were modeled on those imposed on public sector employees in Wisconsin in 2011.
HF 291 substantially narrows the scope of collective bargaining for non-public safety bargaining units. The new law prohibits negotiations over insurance, leaves of absence for political activities, transfer and evaluation polices, and subcontracting. Other traditional mandatory subjects were made permissive, such as grievance procedures, seniority, hours, vacation and holiday leave, overtime compensation, and health and safety.
The Iowa law also mandates recertification elections to be conducted by the Iowa Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) for each collective bargaining representative in the year prior to the expiration of a contract. To be recertified, a majority of the bargaining unit must vote in favor of continued representation, rather than a majority of those who voted.
The failure of a unit member to vote is counted as a vote against retention of the bargaining representative.
If a union fails to pay the required election fee or fails to make a timely request for an extension to pay the required election fee, the union's certification as the representative of the bargaining unit will be revoked by Iowa PERB.
An employer's failure to file a voter eligibility list with Iowa PERB for purposes of the agency conducting a recertification election will result in an automatic recertification of the bargaining agent for another year. A successor agreement reached during that additional year can further extend the period before a recertification election is required.
Labor historians Colin Gordon and John McKerley have written a recent article entitled
Hope in the Heartland, which contextualizes the recent legal changes imposed by HF 291 in the context of Iowa labor history.
Litigation Challenging HF 291
HF 291 is the subject of pending legal challenges in the Iowa courts. A lawsuit by the Iowa
State Education Association (ISEA) challenging HF 291 on state constitutional grounds was dismissed by a lower state court judge. A separate lawsuit by AFSCME was also dismissed by a different judge. Both ISEA and AFSCME have announced that they will be appealing.
Recertification Results in September and October 2017
In September and October 2017, Iowa PERB conducted recertification elections for bargaining agents with contracts that expired in 2018. Seven of the 16 collective public sector higher education bargaining units in Iowa with faculty or graduate student employees were the subject of the recertification process.
The chart below identifies the 16 higher education faculty and graduate student bargaining units in Iowa, and the 7 units that were the subject of the recertification process. In one case, the faculty union at Iowa Valley Community College was recertified without an election for a year after the college failed to submit a voter eligibility list to Iowa PERB.
The chart includes links to the original certifications, the respective sizes of the units, and the unofficial tallies from the 6 recertification elections in September and October. The 2017 unit sizes are based on the voter eligibility lists submitted by the colleges to Iowa PERB for the recertiication elections. The 2012 unit sizes in the chart are the survey results from the National Center's 2012 Director of U.S. Faculty Contracts and Bargaining Agents in Institutions of Higher Education.

South Dakota Politician to Seek a Ban on Faculty Collective Bargaining
|
According to a
media report, South Dakota House Speaker Mark Mickelson has announced plans to introduce legislation to strip collective bargaining rights from faculty who work at South Dakota public universities. Speaker Mickelson's plan stems from his reaction to law school faculty resisting demands that they teach on weekends and in the evening.
South Dakota law already limits the scope of bargaining on behalf of university faculty and exempt staff with respect to salary. The South Dakota statute states that a certified or recognized union is the exclusive representative with "
respect to rates of pay, wages, hours of employment, or other conditions of employment; provided that salary increases for Board of Regents' faculty and exempt staff may only be distributed to address institutional priorities, program needs, performance meeting or exceeding expectations, or internal or external market considerations." (emphasis added)
The South Dakota Board of Regents and the Council of Higher Education, SDEA-NEA are parties to a collective bargaining agreement that expires on June 30, 2019. State legislation that interferes with the negotiated terms of that contract would be subject to a legal challenge under the Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 10, which prohibits States from passing laws that impair the obligation of contracts.

|
Carlow University, NLRB Case No. 06-RC-208558
On October 25, 2017, a petition was filed by the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) seeking to represent a bargaining unit of 13 full-time and part-time campus security at Carlow University in Pennsylvania.
On November 16, 2017, the NLRB tallied the ballots in the representation election. The tally demonstrated that 7 public safety officers voted in favor of SPFPA representation, and one ballot was challenged.
The following is the at-issue public safety bargaining unit at Carlow University:
Included: All full-time and regular part-time Security Police Officers and Dispatchers employed by the Employer at its 3333 Fifth Avenue location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, performing guard duties as defined in Section 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended.
Excluded: Sergeants, Lieutenants, Chief of Police, all office clerical employees, and professional employees and supervisors as defined in the Act.

University of Miami: Campus Police Vote Against Representation
|
University of Miami, NLRB Case No. 12-RC-193766
On February 24, 2017, a petition was filed by the Professional Law Enforcement Association, Inc. seeking to represent a bargaining unit of 18 full-time and part-time police officers at the University of Miami.
On November 15, 2017, the NLRB tallied the ballots in the representation election. The tally demonstrated that 6 officers voted in favor of representation, and 11 voted against.
The following is the at-issue police officer bargaining unit at the University of Miami:
Included: All full-time and regular part-time employees in the classification of Police Officer who work at the University of Miami Coral Gables Campus located in the Coral Gables, Florida
Excluded: All other employees, office clerical employees, and supervisors (Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, and Chief) as defined in the Act.

CUNY: ALJ Dismisses a DFR Charge Filed by Adjunct Faculty Member
|
|
Professional Staff Congress (Stringer), NY PERB Case No. U-35575
On October 23, 2017, New York State Public Employment Relations Board Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Elena Cacavas issued a decision dismissing an improper practice charge filed by an adjunct faculty member at York College against the Professional Staff Congress (PSC).
In the improper practice charge, the faculty member alleged that the PSC breached its duty of fair representation under the Taylor Law when the union failed to pursue a grievance challenging the denial of his reappointment, and by recommending that he pursue his claim of race discrimination by filing a charge with a federal or state anti-discrimination agency.
After accepting as true the factual assertions made by the faculty member, and after evaluating all the evidence in his favor, the ALJ granted the PSC's motion to dismiss the charge. The ALJ noted that the in order to demonstrate a breach of the duty of fair representation, a charging party must demonstrate that the union acted arbitrarily,
discriminatorily or in bad faith. It is well-settled under the Taylor Law that a union is entitled to a wide range of discretion concerning the processing of a grievance, and is not obligated to pursue a grievance that it concludes lacks sufficient merit.
In the present case, the ALJ found that the PSC made a merits-based decision not to pursue the grievance on behalf of the adjunct faculty member based on the terms in the the CUNY-PSC collective bargaining agreement. In addition, the ALJ found no merit to the allegation that a PSC representative had made a misrepresentation to the faculty member concerning the union's intent with respect to the processing of the grievance.

Rockland Co. Comm. Coll.: Faculty First Amendment Claim Dismissed
|
Bhattacharya v. SUNY Rockland Community College, Case No. 17-1048-cv
On October 10, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a
decision affirming the dismissal of a First Amendment retaliation claim brought by an adjunct professor against Rockland County Community College. In his lawsuit,
Robin Bhattacharya alleged that he was not reappointed beyond the summer 2015 term in retaliation for his refusal to permit students to cheat on an examination.
The dismissal of Bhattacharya's lawsuit was affirmed based on a constitutional doctrine created by the United States Supreme Court in Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410 (2006), which excludes from First Amendment protections speech or conduct by a public employee that is pursuant to her or his official duties. It remains an open legal question whether the Garcetti exclusionary rule applies to academic scholarship or teaching. The Court of Appeals in Bhattacharya avoided analyzing that issue by finding that the professor's refusal to permit student cheating was related to the core duty of maintaining class discipline rather than scholarship or teaching.

Southeastern Oklahoma State Univ.: Transgender Bias Claim Survives
|
Tudor v. Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Case No. Civ-15-324-C
On October 26, 2017, a federal judge denied a motion for summary judgment by Southeastern Oklahoma State University seeking to dismiss harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims brought by Professor Rachel Tudor. In her complaint, Professor Tudor alleges that she was harassed, denied tenure, and terminated after she announced that she was transitioning from being a male to a female.
In support of her harassment claim, Professor Tudor cited to the fact that for over four years she was restricted in the restrooms she could use, as well as the clothes and make-up she could wear. She also cited to gender-based hostilities engaged in by administrators.
With respect to her gender discrimination claim, the court found that Professor Tudor had presented enough evidence that a reasonable jury could conclude that the non-discriminatory reasons given by the university for her termination were pretexual. Among those facts was the failure of the university to initially give a reason for the tenure denial, the backdating of a letter setting forth the rationale for the decision, and an expert's report that concluded that the evaluations of her scholarship were inconsistent with the university's criteria for tenure and promotion.

Univ. of Chicago: AAUP-AFT Certified As Representative of GSE Unit
|
|
University of Chicago
, NLRB Case No 13-RC-198325
As a result of the tally of ballots in the representation case concerning graduate student employees (GSE) at the University of Chicago, AAUP-AFT was certified by the National Labor Relations Board on October 27, 2017 to represent the GSE bargaining unit of 2,457.
It is highly unlikely that collective bargaining will begin unless there is a negative final resolution og the University of Chicago's Request for Review pending before the newly constituted National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In its request, the university seeks to have the decision in Columbia University, 364 NLRB No. 90 (2016) overturned, and challenges the Regional Director's decision to direct an election.
The following is the composition of the GSE bargaining unit at the University of Chicago:
Included: All graduate students who are full-time and regular part-time teaching assistants, research assistants, course assistants, workshop coordinators, writing interns, preceptors, language assistants, instructors, lecturers, lectors, and teaching interns in the School of Divinity, School of Social Services Administration, Division of Social Sciences, Division of Humanities, Division of Biological Sciences, and Division of Physical Sciences employed by the Employer at its campus in Chicago, Illinois.
Excluded: All other employees, managerial employees, guards, and supervisors as defined in the Act.
