ULV Adjunct Faculty Files for Union Vote

Story by University of La Verne Campus Times

The University of La Verne adjunct faculty filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board Oct. 28, the first step toward possibly unionizing through the Service Employees International Union. Step two will be a vote to see if 51 percent of adjuncts favor unionization.

The petition, which includes all part-time faculty members that teach at least one credit-earning class, focuses solely on representing those on La Verne’s main campus.

The adjuncts hope the move would address such issues as inadequate pay, and access to University benefits among other concerns they have been discussing since last year.
