Higher education (all education?) is in trubs around the country. Ony
[Only] people who stick up for themselves get anywhere. Individuals
cannot do that effectively. Therefore the nec. and urg. of collective
thrusts. However, there seem to be too many people in the prof. who
are out *only* for themselves, some who are actually very good at it,
and probably would view collective action as directly contrary to
their own interests. *Much* more cld be said.... I think the MLA
should have the guts to speak out.
Avanti il popolo!

Support the formation of unions means the AF of T, I think; the
alternative is a chapter of AAUP (or else a purely local association
or the university's committee structure). The difference between
the "association" and the "union" goes way back in teaching and it
may still be more than trivial--perhaps MLA, whose purpose has to do
with the Fach not the wages, working conditions and job security, of
faculty people, is right to stay out of this?
