7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Part-time Faculty Association at Columbia College Chicago v. Columbia College Chicago

Case No.: 17-3492

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

Focus: NLRB Decision – Employee Unions

This case involves a labor dispute between Columbia College Chicago (“CCC” or “the College”) and one of its employee unions, the Part-Time Faculty Association at Columbia College Chicago (“PFAC”), over the representation of full-time staff members who also teach part-time. A Regional Director (“the Director”) of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “the Board”) ruled that such employees were included in PFAC’s bargaining unit for the purposes of their part-time faculty duties. An independent arbitrator disagreed. After PFAC filed a federal suit to confirm the arbitration, the district court gave precedence to the Director’s decision and vacated the award. We affirm.
