I work at three places, and
belong to AFT-affiliate (NYSUT) locals at two of them. Do I lose interest in
unions when I teach at the third?
Of course not, not least of
all because I believe that union successes and failures, in the long run, raise
and lower the bar for adjunct and contingent faculty working conditions.
But I have three ways of
thinking about unions: for, by, and
against.
