Per an update from Politico Pro:

The National Labor Relations Board certified a July 2016 union election by non-tenure track faculty at Northwestern University, clearing their path to collective bargaining.

The unit will include both full-time and part-time non-tenure track faculty at the Evanston, Ill., school, the union announced Tuesday.
