“It helps to embolden other unions to say, ‘Look, we can ask for these things. We can demand these things, and we can fight to get them.’”
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The job security and higher wages three Rutgers University faculty unions tentatively won for some of their lowest-paid members during last week’s five-day strike could inspire educators in labor fights at other colleges and universities amid the highest surge of higher education labor action in decades, experts say.
“It helps to embolden other unions to say, ‘Look, we can ask for these things. We can demand these things, and we can fight to get them,’” said Tim Cain, associate professor of higher education at the University of Georgia. The unions have estimated the adjuncts – part-time lecturers paid per course – teach about 30% of all classes at Rutgers. Universities nationwide are increasingly relying on adjuncts to teach core courses, experts say.
“That's emblematic of the movement towards a wall-to-wall approach of unionization,” said William Herbert, executive director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions at Hunter College. They also began working with the full-time faculty union and winning broad support for their demands.
New Labor — which advocates for worker protections and, like Rutgers’ main campus, is based in New Brunswick — also supported the strike last week and helped shape those “common good” demands.
