Unions for non-tenure track faculty (NTTF) provide an opportunity for collective bargaining of teaching load, compensation, benefits, and other job-related factors. Unions are now active at many different types of academic institutions, ranging from 2-year community colleges through R1 research universities. This presentation will examine recent efforts to establish NTTF unions, as well as review some of the pros and cons of being a member of a NTTF union bargaining unit.
