Faculty fight anti-union tactics at St. John's University in New York
"The anti-union arguments that have emerged coincide with the appointment of conservative board members and trustees who do not want to deal with unions."
"The decision rests on a 2020 decision promulgated by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that removed NLRB jurisdiction over most religiously affiliated colleges."
St. John's University is experiencing renewed faculty mobilization due to the administration's decision to stop recognizing two faculty unions and halt contract negotiations. This decision follows the firing of 33 teachers in the past and is seen as union busting by faculty members. The administration claims the move is necessary for flexibility and innovation, referencing a 2020 NLRB decision that removed jurisdiction over many religiously affiliated colleges. Critics argue this reflects a broader anti-union trend in higher education.
