Adjunct faculty unions

Adjunct faculty unions are organizations that represent part-time college instructors, known as adjuncts, to advocate for better working conditions, pay, job security, and benefits. These unions negotiate with college administration on behalf of their members to improve wages, workload, and employment terms, providing collective strength that individual adjuncts might lack. They aim to ensure fair treatment, promote professional rights, and address issues unique to adjunct faculty, who often work part-time without the same protections as full-time staff.
