I have heard that many of our major college pd's sgt's positions have gone from salary staff positions to hourly employees over the last year. Can they or are they now welcome in the union/assoc brotherhoods or are they in limbo? Will they form a union to better protect their backs?

At a certain large university in the Harvard Square area (I dare not divulge which one) there has been efforts for years to unionize the sgt.s. There's always been just one or two who didn't like the idea and it sank faster than the Titanic (which yes, took several hours). They are still salaried staff, but they can work overtime and details to fatten their paycheck, but much of the overtime is usually translated into Time Management and allows them more time off which they have to use within a certain time frame. I don't think two sgt.s have the same pay, it's based on incentive, which you can translate any way you wish!

Very difficult to unionize private college campus police. The Sgts. basically have to be patrolmen with almost no supervisory authority for it to be legal. Supervisors generally cannot legally be part of a union in a private workplace. There is an exemption for government employees.

Federal labor law applies at private universities an colleges. If rank and file workers (patrol officers) form or attempt to form a union -- or even act collectively -- the federal law allows the National Labor Relations Board to order reinstatement and back pay if the employees should be fired. Under federal labor law, however, supervisors may form unions but receive essentially no legal protection from dismissal if they do or attempt to do so. This is why one doesn't find supervisors in unions in the private sector.
