Boston Globe: Teachers union raps Quinnipiac for disbanding faculty union
-A national teachers union has rebuked Quinnipiac University for abolishing a faculty union.
At its convention in Boston last weekend, the American Federation of Teachers called on Quinnipiac to restore union bargaining rights. The private university won a National Labor Relations Board ruling to decertify the union earlier this year.
The NLRB granted the university’s petition to reclassify about 240 full-time faculty as managerial employees and disband the Quinnipiac Faculty Federation.
The AFT resolution censured the Hamden school for what the union called a “shameful attack on the rights of Quinnipiac faculty.” The union represented university employees for more than three decades. Its most recent contract expired July 1.
