Dear President O'Donnell and Members of the Board of Trustees,
We are deeply concerned that the Administration is spending valuable
College resources in an effort to disenfranchise adjunct faculty from
their federal right to vote for or against a union in a fair and
democratic election. We do not believe a union election poses any threat
now, or in the future, to Manhattan College's mission or Catholic
heritage. As a matter of conscience and in the spirit of academic
freedom and Catholic social teachings, we urge you to direct your legal
team to immediately drop their objections at the National Labor
Relations Board and allow the votes (which were cast but then impounded
due to legal appeals in March 2011) to be opened and counted. And, if a
majority of voters have cast their vote in favor of union
representation, we urge you to drop any further legal appeals and
negotiate in good faith with the Manhattan College Adjunct Faculty
Union.
Respectfully,
