Where in the World Are the Adjunct Unions?
Since its launch last year, the Service Employees International Union's Adjunct Action campaign—an attempt to collectivize part-time professors in major metropolitan areas—seems to have built up some real momentum. It's grabbed its fair share of headlines, and despite a few hiccups, the national union can now tout its success by saying that it has organized more than 21,000 contingent faculty members so far.
But as the broader adjunct-unionization movement continues to expand nationwide, it’s increasingly difficult to keep tabs on what’s happening at every institution. So we’ve decided to help out.
Below you’ll find a map of every institution that has filed a petition for union election, along with a summary of those results. Click on the colored markers—or the pie charts, which will zoom you in further—to see who voted favorably, who voted not-so-favorably, and who’s still in the thick of organizing. We’ll work to keep the map updated as news is announced. If you notice an institution is missing from our archive, let us know.
