DURHAM, N.C. — Non-tenured faculty at Duke University voted 174-29 to unionize, according to a tally of ballots Friday by the National Labor Relations Board.
Those who voted yes were a majority of the 296 people eligible to vote, a spokeswoman for the labor board said.
Part-time and full-time non-tenured faculty had filed a petition with the labor board in February to hold an election. A group called Duke Teaching First led the effort to join the Service Employees International Union in hopes of better pay, benefits and job security.
