7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Columbia College Chicago v. National Labor Relations Board

Case No.: 16-2080; 16-2026

Officials: BAUER, FLAUM, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Collective Bargaining Agreement – Petition for Review

Petitioner Columbia College Chicago (“Columbia”) seeks review of a National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) order. The order required Columbia to engage in “effects bargaining” with the Part‐Time Faculty Association at Columbia College Chicago (“PFAC”) under the terms of the parties’ collective‐bargaining agreement (“CBA”) regarding credit‐hour changes to Columbia’s performing‐arts curriculum, and awarded bargaining expenses to PFAC. We grant Columbia’s petition for review, and grant in part and deny in part the NLRB’s application for enforcement. We thus enforce in part and vacate in part the Board’s order, and remand for further proceedings.

Enforced in part

Vacated and remanded in part
