Tallahassee CC Professors Vote to Unionize

Full-time faculty members at Tallahassee Community College have voted by a wide margin -- 139 to 22 -- to unionize and to be represented by the United Faculty of Florida, a statewide union affiliated with both the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, The Tallahassee Democrat reported. The administration opposed unionization. A previous unionization drive was rejected by faculty members, but the new campaign followed a dispute between many faculty members and administrators over how many courses full-time faculty members must teach.
