While much of the focus of the protests in Wisconsin and other states that are trying to outlaw collective bargaining has focused on how it will affect public schools, the online publication Inside Higher Ed is reporting that college faculty members are also at risk of losing their bargaining rights.
Faculty members have been among the ranks of protesters in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois not just in solidarity with other public employees, but also in an effort to protect their own rights, Scott Jaschik reported for Inside Higher Ed.
Mr. Jaschik points out that most college faculty members nationally are not unionized. “A Supreme Court ruling has largely blocked faculty union organizing at private colleges, while state governments regulate collective bargaining in the public sector,” he writes.
Unions are more prevalent in colleges and universities in the Northeast, Midwest and West, he said.
Inside Higher Ed interviewed several faculty members about what collective bargaining has meant to them.
Stephen H. Aby, an education and sociology librarian at the University of Akron, said that the faculty union there recently won domestic partnership benefits. He said that Akron was “well behind the country” on that issue, but that the measure was “huge in terms of the message it sends” about the university being inclusive.
