Academic Collective Bargaining

Jointly published by the AAUP and the Modern Language Association, this book examines collective representation, which has long been at the heart of academic governance. Essays in the volume explore the perspectives, successes, failures, and approaches of those who have collectively bargained so that readers can assess the pros and cons of unionization.
