To aid the faculty of the City University of New York (CUNY) in determining if they wish to be represented by either of two exclusive collective bargaining agencies or to maintain professional self-representation is the purpose of this report. Unionization and collective bargaining are relatively new concepts in American education, but being one of the largest state university systems in the country, the results of the City University election are of critical importance. This review covers the significance of the election, the Taylor Law (Public Employees Fair Employment Act), the importance of determining bargaining agents, the possibility of a run-off election, a description of dual voting and collective bargaining, the scope of the bargaining issues, and finally, the importance of every faculty member voting.
