Labor Board Rules for Elon Adjuncts

The National Labor Relations Board on Friday unanimously sided with adjuncts at Elon University, rejecting Elon’s argument that adjuncts are “managerial employees” who do not have collective bargaining rights. “The students will benefit from this also, and I think the administration will come to see negotiating with us as in their own best interest as well, especially as Elon stands for inclusive, progressive ideals in its pedagogy and philosophy,” Mark Iwinski, adjunct professor of art and member of the Service International Employees Union-affiliated Elon Faculty Union, said in a statement.
