After a recent election at Elon University in North Carolina, where 56% of voting faculty members selected the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to represent them, Elon filed 6 objections to the election. The objections accused the union of
- posing as students to gain access to faculty conversations;
- promising ballots only to those who favored the union;
- coercing faculty members into supporting the SEIU with false information
- undermining Elon’s representative and transparent shared governance system; and
- stalking, bullying, and outright lying to Elon faculty.
The National Labor Relations Board has delayed certifying the results of this election until they have finished an investigation of the accusations, at which point SEIU could face litigation over their behavior if the charges are not dismissed.
