- Authors
Lewis, Jon
- Abstract
The article focuses on the problem of academic employment in Western Oregon University, a small state school in Monmouth, Oregon. In 2006, the full- and part-time faculty of this school prepared to go on strike in response to considerable salary increases received by the public employee union Service Employees International Union. Negotiations between the management and faculty members regarding a fair compensation package failed, prompting the faculty to go on strike.
