Catholic Universities and Unions

Wow.  This should shake things up.  From Fr. Z:

...I found this at The Motley Monk.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) told Manhattan College that they are not really a religious institution and therefore they can’t use a religious character to prevent the faculty from unionizing.

The NLRB used Manhattan College’s own literature for this decision.  Apparently, since Manhattan College says it is not trying to promote the Catholic Faith, … well… they can’t hide behind their religious identity.

Bottom line: Nominally Catholic schools which are not serious about their identity may have problems coming...
