Some Thoughts of Faculty Strikes
- Authors: Margaret E. Winters et al.
  Abstract: William Connellan is a long-time administrative-side academic labor specialist who spent much of his career at Oakland University (Michigan). What follows here is the result of an interview with him carried out by the author. After a general introduction to Bill, the institution, and to Michigan labor relations, the article focuses on Bill’s involvement in the many strikes called by the faculty union at Oakland during his tenure there. The article closes with Bill’s broader comments, that is, advice on negotiations and the handling of strikes from the administrative point of view.

TAUP's 50-Year Collective Bargaining Story
- Authors: Arthur Hochner
  Abstract: In the half-century history of faculty collective bargaining at Temple University, the Temple Association of University Professionals has faced numerous challenges. As a union leader for 31 of those years, I took part in many contract negotiations with tough-minded management representatives, including two long strikes. As universities have shifted away from tenure-track faculty toward more contingent ones, both full- and part-time, TAUP has made key adjustments and has grown. While I am now retired from Temple and the union, my successors continue to maintain faculty voice.

Analyzing the Upward Trend in Academic Unionization: Drivers and
Influences
- Authors: Andrea Clemons
  Abstract: Over the last decade, the discourse on collective bargaining has evolved, shaped by the multifaceted challenges confronting contemporary higher education, including shifts in public perception and financial constraints. This article delves into the dynamic landscape of academic labor, highlighting its impact on tenured faculty, contingent faculty, and graduate students. The analysis encompasses the historical context of unionization, the transformation of academic labor structures, and present-day factors such as dissatisfaction with higher education, legislative mandates, and threats to academic freedom. The examination of recent legislative efforts in Florida, the article illustrates an ongoing trend and emphasizes the need for meaningful dialogues about the sustainability of higher education institutions nationwide. Amid society's ongoing scrutiny of the value and purpose of higher education, the potential for an upswing in union activity prompts a critical examination of collective bargaining's effectiveness in reinforcing academic freedom, ensuring fair workplace procedures, and securing the stability of the academic profession.

The 50 Year History of Collective Bargaining at Hofstra University
- Authors: Herman A. Berliner et al.
  Abstract: The timeline of collective bargaining at Hofstra mirrors the timeline of the 50 National Center annual conferences. And the details of the Hofstra timeline, from organizing, to bargaining, from global issues to procedural details, from a bitter strike to collegiality, in an environment that respects both collective bargaining and shared governance, in a world without and then with COVID, provide a microcosm of the collective bargaining world over the decades. This article will start at the beginning of collective bargaining at Hofstra, reflect on social and economic changes during these 50 years, view the changing University aspirations, assess the impact of COVID, and reflect on pending issues, all through the lens of collective bargaining. Three Hofstra AAUP leaders and three senior Hofstra administrators will present a comprehensive review of the 50 years of collective bargaining at Hofstra as seen from both vantage points.

The Role of the Chief Negotiator in Academic Collective Bargaining
- Authors: Nicholas DiGiovanni Jr.
  Abstract: Regardless of which side he or she is on, the chief negotiator is the face of the team, the representative of the institution or of the union. The negotiator must persuade, cajole, and otherwise advance his or her client’s proposals. He or she is responsible for assessing the impact of proposals, crafting effective contract language, judging the importance of different concessions, and, perhaps most important of all, maintaining the absolutely critical perspective as to what is crucial at the table and what is just noise. And finally, the chief negotiator sets a tone for the discussions, and his or her attitude towards those across the table can be central in how a given round is perceived by the other side. At best, the chief negotiator should leave the relationship as good as or better than he or she found it.

The Persistence of Separate and Unequal: Debunking Myths of the Market in
Bargaining for Faculty Gender Salary Equity
- Authors: Johanna E. Foster et al.
  Abstract: The Persistence of Separate and Unequal: Debunking Myths of the Market in Bargaining for Faculty Gender Salary Equity ABSTRACTFor over a century, feminists have challenged occupational gender segregation as a mechanism to rationalize the devaluing of work assigned to women. The social movement momentum in the second half of the twentieth century helped narrow gender pay gaps both within and across occupations. Recently, apologists for gender discrimination have gained ground in obfuscating the role of gender segregation in reproducing salary inequity, pointing to a black box of “market forces” that presumably account for the devaluing of feminized fields, inside and outside of higher education. In this article, we address the state of available national faculty salary data in higher education, and examine three market-based myths for the persistence of gender salary disparities to assist the important work of bargaining for gender salary equity within and also across academic disciplines. We conclude with recommendations for constructing effective negotiations that advance the mutual interests of labor and management.Keywords: gender wage gap; faculty salary inequity; occupational gender segregation; internal occupational segregation; bargaining salary equity

Collective Bargaining Among Undergraduate Students
- Authors: Daniel J. Julius et al.
  Abstract: The questions we are focusing on in this essay concern; 1) to what extent are undergraduate students being organized for purposes of collective bargaining or covered by labor agreements (there are two major formats, first, unions comprised of only undergraduates and, secondly, where undergraduates are hired into employee classifications already represented by bargaining agents; the latter more common than many might expect) and 2), what impact, if any, does membership or involvement in unionization influence the undergraduate student experience (graduation and attrition rates, alumni involvement, positive or negative attitudes toward faculty or the institution, compensation, tuition, class time, shared governance, decision making protocols and the like.)
