Abstract
Collective bargaining and unionization in higher education has a long history. In 1936, Teachers Union Local 5 President Charles J. Hendley criticized a speech by Teachers College Dean William F. Russell for his opposition to the unionization of college professors and primary and secondary teachers. The exchange occurred a few months following a campus strike by elevator operators and porters that was supported by faculty and students.
