An act relating to establishing a statewide bargaining unit for Vermont State Colleges adjunct faculty

This bill creates a single statewide bargaining unit for adjunct faculty at Vermont State Colleges, excluding Vermont Technical College. It allows these part-time instructors to collectively negotiate employment terms and conditions through a unified group. The change applies to adjuncts who sign an employment agreement or begin teaching their first class, whichever happens first. This measure directly affects adjunct faculty members by organizing them into a formal labor relations structure. The legislation does not change existing employment contracts but establishes a framework for future collective bargaining.
