Does the ruling apply only to private university organizing drives or also to public university drives?
Only to private universities. State law governs unions at public universities. Do other kinds of workers organize unions without the protection of the NLRB? 32 million workers in the United States have no legal right to form unions under federal or state laws, including independent contractors and agricultural workers. Many unions have organized outside the jurisdiction of state and federal labor law. Most famously, the United Farm Workers (UFW) has successfully organized farm workers for decades. In New York State all private employees that are not covered under federal law have the right to organize with card-count neutrality.
