Washington State Adjunct Faculty Jack Longmate challenges the Seattle mayor, the state government, and the faculty bargaining units to end discrimination against the majority of the state's community college faculty. Longmate provides a solution based on the British Columbia model, which promotes equality in pay and working conditions for faculty.
AFA opinion:
Longmate's description of faculty being run over by the state and faculty bargaining units is replicated all over America. Too often, the states and faculty bargaining units prevent equality. It's time for the states and bargaining units to stop excuses and start action now to end this travesty.
