AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS (AFT) PART TIME / ADJUNCT FACULTY |
AFT is the leading organizer of part-time/adjunct faculty in the United
States. AFT represents approximately 50,000 part-time/adjunct faculty,
more than any other union. Some of these educators have organized
with AFT in part-time/adjunct faculty only bargaining units; others
are in joint full-time/part-time faculty units, and still others are
in "wall-to-wall" units representing all higher education professionals
in an institution or higher education system. Regardless of the local
structure, the AFT is committed to promoting solidarity among all
faculty and staff as a crucial part of improving conditions for part-time/adjunct
faculty.
