YESHIVA

WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court in NLRB vs. Yeshiva University has effectively stymied efforts to organize private college and university faculty and has undermined the existing collective bargaining rights of organized faculties; and

WHEREAS, the Yeshiva doctrine holds that participation in institutional governance makes faculty members "management" and places them outside the protections of the National Labor Relations Act; and

WHEREAS, this anti-labor doctrine flies in the face of all efforts to professionalize teaching on all levels and to improve the status of other professional and non-professional workers and unions:

RESOLVED, that this convention strongly recommend that the AFT, in conjunction with all the forces it can muster, vigorously advance its campaign to secure passage of legislation to reverse the Yeshiva decision.
