UO Trying to Organize!

Apropos of the post yesterday about billowing administrative positions, here's news that there's a move afoot among University of Oregon professors to unionize.

As bad as things are in the state right now, it's good to remember that thanks to the union, we now have a seat at the table. Whatever cuts may be requested of our membership, they must be requested at the bargaining table. When you are a member of a union, you are able to question the assumptions and priorities of an administration. Bad times, but good times to be a member of a union.
