Unionization of community colleges revved up with the introduc­tion of Senate Bill 746 and House Bill 894. Both bills passed in March 2021, just before the last day of the legislative session. However, on May 28, 2021, Governor Larry Hogan issued a veto letter. This set­back would have been more demoralizing had the fall not brought a special session resulting from election redistricting. During this session, the legislature overrode Hogan’s veto, and the bills became law, allowing faculty members at all Mary­land community colleges to engage in collective bargaining. As a result, an unofficial Organizing Committee was formed in Summer of 2021. We were certified in July of 2023 as the Union of Harford Community College Faculty (UHCCF).
