I recall an attempt at unionizing in the mid 1980s that did not succeed. But that might have been admin staff. Not office of Physical Plant employees. I think they were already unionized.

Union or no union they might not be allowed in to talk to the BOT

Would not be good IMO. So many are overly entitled already.

Stupid question: If PSU faculty hurry up and unionize, could it prevent PSU or limit PSU’s ability to close campuses?

 

[Nittering Nabob]

If PSU employees decide to unionize, they need a really creative acronym to help their cause.

Offer your best suggestions. I know this board is far more creative than what I generated on short notice.

PSEOU... Penn State Employees Otherwise Unemployable.

That was my first thought as to why they were doing this

Always love individuals that want to be recognized as professionals that feel they need to be Unionized!

 

[Nitt1300]

They may feel they need protection from the BOT

Who is to say that they're wrong?
