The report summarizes unionization activities among college faculty in the United States in 1989. Faculty unionizing continued to increase for the sixth consecutive year and contrasts with decreases in the overall unionized sector. Organized faculty comprised approximately 30% of the professoriate. Faculty unions were successful in 11 of 14 elections. New agents were elected in four elections, while changes in agent status were the result of seven elections. The gulf between private sector and public sector organizing is great, with only one election occurring at a private institution (Post College). The impact of the Supreme Court decision in National Labor Relations Board versus Yeshiva University, which found that faculty are not entitled to bargain under the protection of the National Labor Relations Act, continues to be substantial. The year's activities are reported in terms of agents elected, decertifications, strikes, legislation, and demographic analysis. It is concluded that there were no significant events in academic collective bargaining during the year, with faculty unions concentrating resources on servicing their members and preserving affiliations. Large scale organizing for support staff remains high on the unions' agendas. The absence of new legislation remains a problem for those seeking to organize faculty units. (DB)
