Workers at Loyola University and the University of California are preparing to strike amid ongoing labor disputes. Harvard University’s unionized graduate students continue their fights with picketing actions. Additionally, the Maryland Legislature has voted to expand bargaining rights to non-tenure-track faculty.
Key Points
- Loyola and UC workers set to strike over labor issues
- Harvard graduate students picket amid ongoing union fights
- Maryland expands bargaining rights for non-tenure-track faculty
Implications for Educational Freedom
These labor developments could impact educational freedom in higher education by potentially limiting institutional autonomy through increased union influence and government-mandated bargaining rights. However, they have no direct implications for K-12 school choice, ESAs, vouchers, or parental rights.
