John A. Logan Union

It looks as if the last non-unionized unit at John A. Logan College will vote to unionize in the next couple of week. Regular staff at the college, as well as both faculty and adjunct faculty already have membership in various unions, leaving the non-teaching staff as the only group unrepresented.  From talking with a member of the non-teaching staff, JALC administration apparent planned to adjust or refigure pensions (I didn't catch the details). This bothered non-teaching staff members enough that talk of organizing surfaced.

Administration pulled the proposed pension adjustments but apparently too late to quell interest in the union.  Organizers feel they have enough support among non-teaching staff ratification of the union should pass when brought to a vote.

Unions don't occur where employees are satisfied with their jobs. Treat them well and you do not have a union problem.
