College of Southern Nevada: Faculty Vote In Favor of Unionization
|
College of Southern Nevada
Background
The Nevada Board of Regents Handbook, Title IV, Chapter IV includes the Professional Employee Collective Bargaining Regulations. The regulations permit unionization and collective bargaining for certain college faculty and other professionals. Excluded from coverage under the regulations are adjunct faculty members, administrators, and clinical faculty members.
The regulations were adopted in 1990 by the Nevada Board of Regents pursuant to the managerial authority granted by the Nevada Constitution. The regulations include a codification of the right to unionize, standards and procedures regarding unit composition and representation elections, the scope of collective bargaining, and impasse procedures.
Pursuant to the regulations, a written representative application can be filed by an employee organization with the Chancellor seeking to represent a particular unit of employees. If the application meets the regulatory requirements, the Chancellor must place the application on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents then must direct the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to conduct an election between 15 and 30 days after the Board's meeting at which the application was presented.
Recent Faculty Vote in Favor of Unionization
The Nevada Faculty Alliance/AAUP (NFA) filed a written representative application for an election to determine whether tenured and tenure track faculty (instructing, library and counseling faculty) at the College of Southern Nevada want to be represented for purposes of collective bargaining by NFA. At its March 2016 meeting, the Board of Regents approved NFA's application, which resulted in the American Arbitration Association conducting a representation election. According to a media report, the faculty recently voted 263-126 in favor of NFA representation during a AAA supervised election.

Tufts University: NLRB Regional Director Dismisses Petition
|
Trustees of Tufts College, NLRB Case No.01-RC-166588
On April 5, 2016, NLRB Acting Region 1 Director Ronald S. Cohen issued a decision dismissing a representation filed by SEIU seeking to represent a unit of approximately 70 tenured and tenure track basic science faculty at the Tufts University School of Medicine, including assistant professors, associate professors, and professors. The Acting Regional Director concluded by applying the refined standards set forth in
Pacific Lutheran University, 361 NLRB No. 157 (2014) that the entire petitioned-for unit is composed of managerial employees, and therefore exempted from coverage under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). He found that the "authority of the basic faculty in the five decision-making categories set forth in Pacific Lutheran University
is sufficient in breadth and depth to support a determination that they are managerial." In addition, the Acting Regional Director found that faculty in the petitioned-for unit who currently have employees working in their labs are statutory supervisors under the NLRA.
