If the non-tenure-track faculty succeeds in forming a union, it will more than double the size of the Art Institute of Chicago Workers United, which represents about 500 workers.
If the nontenured faculty succeeds in unionizing, it would form a third separate bargaining unit under the union’s umbrella.If the school does not recognize the union voluntarily, the faculty will file for an election with the National Labor Relations Board. Workers would then need a simple majority vote to unionize.
Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza, 10th, spoke in support of the faculty union Wednesday, as did state Rep. Delia Ramirez, who is running for Congress. Non-tenure-track faculty members at SAIC first announced their intention to unionize in May. Nearly 200 adjuncts and lecturers at the school signed an open letter announcing the union drive, calling their working conditions “intolerable.
