A year (and more) in review
The table below shows some of the Longy Faculty Union's activities during the past year, as well as activities and events leading up to the formation of the Union, and other events or actions by outside parties that have affected the Union and its members. Each entry in the table is assigned to one of the categories shown in the key.
Though we have attempted to be both thorough and accurate in compiling the dates and activities shown in the table, we may have overlooked something. This table is an informal summary of Union-related activity, including such significant milestones as the initial filing to request a union election, the election and certification of the vote, the election of the Executive Board, attempts at negotiation with the Longy administration, the involvement of the NLRB in complaints against the Longy administration and the resulting injunction, and the hearings scheduled to begin February 7, 2011.
