A push for adjunct faculty unionization is getting some much-needed traction at Hamline University and Macalester College, but it won’t be as easy for the University of Minnesota.
Some of the University’s adjuncts have been approached by the Service Employees International Union’s Adjunct Action campaign. The organization currently represents about 18,000 faculty members nationwide, and they’re looking to unionize more. Macalester faculty and students rallied for the cause last week, and the school will vote on the issue soon, along with Hamline.
