Thanks for the additions! The work conditions are very similar in our district here, although we do have the union and we've been chipping away at the rockface trying to get some relief and parity.

I had to trim a lot of stuff in the interest of space, but another link you might check out if you haven't already is the New Faculty Majority--it's a professional association, not a union, but they are advocates and activists.

Also, I just saw an article yesterday about the Steelworkers organizing adjuncts into their adjunct division--I don't know what the connection is with Steelworking, but this is interesting: http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/news/education/duquesne-adjunct-faculty-to-join-united-steelworkers-654315/
