From our colleagues at United Academics of Maryland (UAM):
We have been fighting in Annapolis for collective bargaining legislation for all faculty and librarians in Maryland higher ed institutions for the last three years. It has been a tough fight, but we may be on the cusp of a major breakthrough.
It seems likely that some version of our bill – HB661/SB750 – will pass, but some legislators are trying to cut down the amount of faculty that this bill would grant collective bargaining rights to, from all faculty to some smaller subset.
We must push as hard as we can now to make sure this doesn’t happen.
