Detroit News: Ford teachers talk union
Drive moves to election stage for part-timers at college who seek better pay, working conditions.
DEARBORN — Part-time teachers at Henry Ford Community College hope to form a union this spring in an effort to gain higher wages and better working conditions.
Following a national movement to unionize among part-time faculty who increasingly teach heavier workloads for far less money than full-timers, adjunct professors formed an association last spring to explore unionization. The group is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers-Michigan.
