   Not that anyone cares, but I worked in the States at the City University of New York (CUNY) for a long time, and there was one way that CUNY negotiations beat the pants off York: everyone was part of the SAME UNION. Full-timers and part timers are in the same union, as are many people in non-teaching admin posts. This makes a big difference since the interests of full-timers aligns with that of part-timers. Despite the recession CUNY reports its working towards getting 70% full time faculty. The issues of quality of instruction don’t seem to be up for debate in the states. Just my two cents.

   Thanks Leslie! A handful of unit 2s worked really hard to get it published in a timely fashion. I’m glad you liked it!
