Inside Higher Ed: NLRB Orders George Washington U. to Negotiate With Adjunct Union
The National Labor Relations Board has ordered George Washington University to recognize a union of adjunct faculty members and to start negotiating a contract.

The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that George Washington University is breaking the law in its refusal to recognize its adjunct professors’ union, which won a labor-board-certified election held in October 2004.
Sticking to the position it has held for months, the university maintained that the election was “flawed” and, on Wednesday, filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, asking for a review of the labor board’s decision.
