"Yeshivawatch"--Year Seven.
Douglas, Joel M., Ed.
Newsletter of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions, v14 n4 Sep-Oct 1986
New court decisions that have claims like the "National Labor Relations Board v. Yeshiva" case are briefly described. Cases of the following colleges that have Yeshiva-related claims are outlined: Florida Memorial College, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and Boston University. It is suggested that after nearly 60 Yeshiva-related cases, no definitive standard of managerial and/or supervisory employees within a unionized university setting has been articulated. Faculty unionists repeatedly argue that the instant case can be distinguished from "Yeshiva" and that the bargaining unit is entitled to the protection of the National Labor Relations Act. For the most part, the National Labor Relations Board and the courts have continued to apply the "Yeshiva" doctrine to college faculty who appear to possess managerial status. It is argued that if "Yeshiva" is to be reversed and bargaining rights restored to faculty at private colleges, it appears that faculty unionists will have to forge coalitions with their union and management counterparts in the industrial trade movement. "Yeshiva" may have to be reversed not only on legal grounds but because of economic and political pressure generated by the AFL-CIO and large scale corporate interests. (SW)
