U. of Virgin Islands Ordered Into Contract Talks With Faculty Union

Three years after it first refused to negotiate with a new union formed to represent its faculty, the University of the Virgin Islands has been ordered into contract talks, the Virgin Islands Daily News reports. The Virgin Islands Public Employees Relations Board issued the order in connection with an unfair-labor-practices complaint filed by the union, which is affiliated with the American Association of University Professors, three months after its certification by the board, in 2009.
