The University has had collective bargaining relations with a variety of labor
organizations since at least the 1930’s, during the construction of the
University’s landmark building, the Cathedral of Learning. During the early
years, the University’s labor relations activities and obligations were
addressed by the National Labor Relations Board. The University became an
Instrumentality of the Commonwealth in the early 1960’s; the University came
under the jurisdiction of the Public Employee Relations
Act 195 (PERA) in 1970, when Public Law 195 was passed as an amendment
to the PLRA. The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB) has responsibility
for all matters related to the collective bargaining process at the University.
For questions specific to a given labor agreement, we encourage you to
