Directories of faculty collective bargaining relationships-Archival Materials

The National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions

has been digitizing our archival materials to make them readily available to practitioners and researchers studying the history of unionization and collective bargaining in higher education.

For the past half-century, the National Center has collected and analyzed unionization and strike data in higher education and published directories of faculty and other collective bargaining relationships in higher education.

We are pleased to announce that we recently posted on our website links to 25 National Center directories of faculty collective bargaining relationships, published between 1976 and 2020. Those directories, along with our bimonthly newsletters from 1973 to 2000, provide important data and analysis relevant to the trajectory and restructuring of campus labor relations since 1973.

We will be announcing in future newsletters when additional archival research materials become available on our website. 

The July/August 2023 Newsletter links to video recordings from or 50^th anniversary conference earlier this year, links to articles in the current volume of the Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy, an announcement about an upcoming labor history book on contingent faculty, and job postings with the California Faculty Association.
