Abstract	"Amidst unprecedented levels of union organizing in higher education, Gary Rhoades combines the perspectives of a scholar and labor movement activist and leader to provide a comprehensive analysis of organizing campaigns and collective bargaining agreements for faculty (contingent and tenure-track), graduate students, and postdoc employees. Academic employees are organizing and negotiating for respect for workers, their work, and the public value of higher education. Rhoades analyzes how academic employees are shifting the imbalance of power between labor and management, reducing the internal professional stratification between segments of the academic workforce, and intersecting workplace issues with broader issues of equality, public value, and social justice, and in the process organizing and negotiating for a new, more progressive academy." -- Contents: Now is the time -- A critical juncture and distinctive dynamism -- From the margins to the center: contingent academic employees organizing and negotiating a new academy -- Bread and roses, and a labor-based conception of quality: a new faculty majority organizing a new academy -- Embedding bread and roses and labor-based quality in part-time only bargaining units -- Graduate student and postdoc employees: more than would-be apprentice -- organizing and negotiating new contingency in an old academy -- Faculty negotiating retrenchment and technology amidst management's austerity agenda -- Challenging management's austerity practices : organizing amidst and negotiating furloughs -- Negotiating management's austerity practices: retrenchment for financial exigency and other reasons in the contracts -- Protections and possibilities in negotiating a progressive academy amidst new circuits of production -- Organizing and negotiating for respect and public purpose: toward a new progressive normal.
