clogic-190855	Noonan, Jeffrey	Resolving the Contradictions of Academic Unionsim	2018	17	.pdf	application/pdf	9670	319	38	My focus in this essay will be the damage the austerity agenda is causing to public universities and how faculty unions can play a leadership role in building a broad-based social movement against austerity and in support of the democratic and critical power of higher education. Faculty unions, whose members have the time and institutional space to think critically about the social causes of the forces reshaping their work lives, and with (in the case of full time tenured faculty) job security unparalleled in the broader public and private sector, should be capable of translating their members’ interest in protecting their own conditions of work into the first line of defence against austerity in universities.	cache/clogic-190855.pdf	txt/clogic-190855.txt
