Directory of Faculty Contracts and Bargaining Agents in Institutions of Higher Education. Volume 9.

Data on 1982 faculty bargaining agents and collective bargaining agreements in public and private U.S. and Canadian higher education institutions are presented. In addition, a brief narrative description of 1982 trends is included. For each institution which is listed alphabetically by state/province, information is provided on the bargaining agent, unit size, the year the current agent was elected, the year the initial contract was signed, the number of campuses, and the contract expiration date. Characteristics of special plan bargaining at four Canadian institutions are also indicated. Summary data are also presented on U.S. elections for bargaining agents (name of agent, size, and whether the agent was elected for 2 or 4 years). Information is also presented on institutions that had no-agent votes, decertification, first contracts signed in 1982, and changes in agent status. Statistical data are also presented to indicate the growth of unionization during 1974-1982, the number of public and private institutions that have elected specific agents, the number of collective bargaining agreements for public and private institutions by agent, and the geographic distribution of bargaining agents and contracts. Appended materials include alphabetical lists of agents and colleges and universities. (SW)
