(32,381 posts)I have a job that is a result of education reform--I'm an adjunct who works in the k12 system. It's kind of the worst of both worlds. Higher education is also dominated by a high percentage of women workers who have been relegated to part-time work, with little job protection.
Adjunct Action is a project of the SIEU which has been organizing adjuncts and also building connections to the Fight for !5 movement. Clinton has tapped into this as well. My own union, AFT, has a good relationship with her.
I know that a Republican in the White House will be death to teachers and their unions. The next few years will probably be a chance to flip the Supreme Court, and enemies of public education have been using the courts to strip teachers unions of their strength. It's very important that one of the most highly unionized, and female, workforces, not be reduced to rubble.
