The Chronicle News Blog: No Collective Bargaining This Year for Maryland TA’s and Adjuncts

Graduate teaching assistants and adjunct professors at Maryland’s public universities will have to try again next year to get state lawmakers to back collective-bargaining rights for them.

Legislation that would have allowed the TA’s and adjuncts to negotiate their pay, benefits, and teaching workloads has failed in the Maryland General Assembly, The Washington Post reported today.
