Tribune-Review: Duquesne appeals NLRB decision on union
Board decision to reject the university’s request that it be allowed to withdraw on religious grounds from an agreement allowing part-time faculty to form a union, officials announced today.
The United Steelworkers petitioned the labor board on May 14 to supervise a union election to represent about 130 part-time faculty.
The NLRB issued a ruling Monday after Duquesne sought to withdraw from the vote because, as a religious institution, it qualifies for an exemption from NLRB jurisdiction, said Bridget Fare, a university spokeswoman.
