I'm not aware of any faculty unions representing professors. There are some academic student employee (inc. grad students) unions and a handful of postdoc unions.

some faculty are unionized (I know of at least a few where the faculty are all NEA members)

Additionally there are not-officially recognized groups such as AAUP (American Association of University Professionals) that represent faculty issues.

clarifying my own post...because my language may have been confusing

faculty actually refers to the body of faculty at a university or in a department as a whole...when writing to certain communities

What I meant was that certain universities have the whole body of faculty unionized

At private schools there are no unions due to NLRB v. Yeshiva University. The SC denied faculty the right to collectively bargain...
