Harvard University has a rich history of collective bargaining with its various employee unions. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Labor Relations Commission first certified employee bargaining units at Harvard in 1938. These initial units included: house maids; caretakers and janitors; maintenance department employees; operating engineers; kitchen staff and waitresses; press and bindery employees; athletic employees; and, police officers. Most of these employee groups were represented by the Harvard University Employees Representative Union (HUERA), while the kitchen staff was represented by the Cooks and Pastry Cooks Association Local 186, and the waitstaff by the Waitresses Mutual and Benevolent Association Local 112. Over the years, these groups of employees moved away from HUERA, requesting representation from other Unions.
Today, there are over 5,800 unionized Harvard employees. Listed below are the present iterations of these early bargaining units, with HUCTW and HUSPMGU being relatively recent additions:
