7th 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
