Maryland Community Colleges Form AAUP-AFT Unions.

They are the first community colleges in Maryland to organize - joining full-time unionized faculty at Montgomery College affiliated with the AAUP and the AFT - since the state legislature reformed the collective bargaining process. Faculty members at two community colleges in Maryland, Howard Community College and Frederick Community College, filed for union recognition in August, petitioning the state Public Employee Relations Board to join the AAUP, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and AFT-Maryland.
