I've been talking about the "union" to the powers that be, an they think I ought not to call it a union, but an "association" or a "cooperative" or something that doesn't have baggage with it. Fellow adjuncts I've talked to also feel that I should not have my name on it.
I've got to ask, "What is everyone afraid of?"
Surely, even if we did want to truly establish an AFL-CIO-type union, that should not be something that should scare administrations-- unless, of course, they feel guilty for taking advantage of us for so long. (lol) But, really, this union idea that I have is more like the traditional "student union", only for adjuncts.
Should the name be changed? Should we all contribute anonymously? I don't know.
