Faculty Senate attacks bill
By Lucy Bighia
A bill to establish collective bargaining
by college employees, LB 108, met with hot
opposition last week fiom the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln Faculty Senate.
William Campbell, a UNL physics pro
fessor and Faculty Senate president,
accused NU systems officials of trying to
push the bill through the legislature
without informing the faculty.
If passed, the bill would establish one
bargaining unit for each category of uni
versity employees. This would mean that
faculty from UNL, UNO and the NU
Medical Center would all be included in the
same unit.
Campbell said this is the senate's main
complaint about the bill.
"We don't feel there are enough similar
ities between the faculty of the three
schools to form a successful coalition," he
said. "It would be very difficult for the
med school to get together with us because
they have very different interests and con
cerns." Already settled in courts
The senate also opposes the bill because
the question of collective bargaining
already was settled in the courts, Campbell
said.
The State Court of Industrial Relations
defined the NU Dental College, University
of Nebraska Law School, UNO faculty and
the rest of the UNL faculty as separate
bargaining units, he said.
So now, after having lost the case in the
courts, the regents have gone to the legis
lature to try to win the issue, Campbell
said.
Campbell said it was only by chance
that the senate learned of the bill before it
came up for a hearing. One of the senate
members was reading over the list of pro
posed bills, and happened to spot it, he
said.
According to Campbell, this isn't the
first time the central administration has
failed to inform the faculty of matters
affecting them.
Should have been contacted
"We continually find ourselves reacting
to situations where we should 've been con
tacted ahead of time," Campbell said.
But Campbell said he didn't think the
faculty senate would have been able to
change the regents' minds about supporting
the bill, but should have had the oppor
tunity to oppose it.
Campbell also said he'd heard that even
the chancellor's office didn't know of the
bill before the hearing.
But Richard Fleming, assistant to the
chancellor, said that isn't true.
Fleming said that, although he usually
tries to notify university employees of
legislation that might affect them, by the
time he learned of LB 108 the senate al
ready knew about it.
But William Swanson, corperation secre
tary, said the chancellor's office found
out about the bill at a meeting of deans
and directors about a week before the
hearing.
