Governor Jay Inslee:

Please support a change in Washington law to allow adjunct professors at 2 year public post secondary schools to set up separate unions from those of full time faculty

Why is this important?

Currently WA law requires full time faculty (tenure track) and part time faculty (adjuncts) at 2 year public post secondary schools to be represented by the same union. This is a conflict of interest. Full time faculty often supervise part time faculty. This inequity results in the interests of part time faculty being marginalized or not represented at all.
