Nontenured faculty at University of Chicago files to unionize

Nontenure-track faculty at the University of Chicago have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to unionize, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

They are requesting an election for a bargaining unit that would represent not only adjuncts, who work part time, but also full-timers. They would join a national movement that has sought better pay and job security for the nontenured faculty who make up the majority of the nation's higher education workforce.
