About the book
"Unionization in the Academy gives an authoritative, balanced, and comprehensive treatment of academic unions - their history, purpose, and the conflicts they cause. DeCew discusses the central issues in academic unions, including unions for part-time and adjunct faculty, graduate students, and collective bargaining. The book also includes a history of the rise of academic unions, and watershed moments such as the U.S. Supreme Court's 1980 Yeshiva decision. A series of articles by other observers supplements DeCew's insights and arguments. This combination yields a comprehensive and detailed survey of the arguments for and against academic unions of all kinds. Are unions a threat because they conflict with academic values and create adversity? Or do unions support academic values by creating community and collegiality? Unionization in the Academy is the essential reader for faculty, students, administrators, and anyone else trying to answer these questions"--Unedited summary from book cover.
