The Chronicle News Blog: University Says It Will Cease Court Action to Invalidate Union Election
In an move that probably signals an end to two years of litigation, George Washington University announced late yesterday that it would not pursue further court action to invalidate a union election held in 2004. In that election, which was certified by the National Labor Relations Board, a slim majority of part-time professors at George Washington voted to a form a union. However, rather than recognize the election, the university filed appeals, first with the Labor Board and then with a federal court. The university lost its last appeal — to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — just last week.
