Unionization In The Classroom: GW's Response To Organizing Part-Time Faculty


Back to Index


January 6, 2006

The University has received the National Labor Relations Board’s decision to uphold the election results regarding representation of the part-time faculty by Local 500 of the Service Employees International Union. This outcome, reached at the administrative level and based on a motion filed by the NLRB’s own General Counsel, was not surprising, as we have stated previously. The University continues to believe that the election was flawed because the number of potential voters who were disenfranchised was determinative of the results of the election. We are closely reviewing the NLRB’s decision and the available options.
