Unionism came rather late to much of academia. However,
it has had an important impact in a number of ways. This presentation will look at the history of unionism in the academy with an emphasis on community colleges. We
will look at the formation of academic unions from their inception as well as the changes that have occurred over time. In addition, we will discuss what is occurring in the present and see how the history of unions has impacted our present status. February 5, 2020.
