Adjuncts and instructors at Western Michigan University have become the latest higher ed faculty group in Michigan to vote in favor of unionizing. The vote total announced this week was 207 to 29 for recognizing the Professional Instructors Organization (PIO) as the WMU group's collective bargaining agent. The PIO is the latest in a string of successful union organizing efforts at Michigan colleges and universities over the last two years, including Michigan State, Central Michigan University, Henry Ford Community College and Wayne State University -- all now having contingent faculty or graduate employee unions affiliated with AFT Michigan, as is LEO.
