Why Unions Matter:
United We Bargain, Divided We Beg
by Gretchen E.
Knapp
On Wednesday April 23 nontenure-track faculty will have the
long-awaited opportunity to determine their own fate by voting for a
union. One year ago the Illinois State University Nontenure-track
Faculty Association announced its card drive. Six months ago the
NTTFA filed a petition with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations
Board. By state statute, an election should have followed shortly
thereafter -- in 30 days. But the administration's response was to
try and keep as many of us from voting as possible.
