Some are drawn to union organizing by a desire to find work that lives up to their political ideals or by exposure to the history and literature of the labor movement. Others become involved through participation in campus debates over adjunct pay, benefits, and working conditions.</p> <P>Whether you have had direct or indirect exposure to the concept of unionization, hearing from two former academics who now work in the field can provide important perspective on what it might mean for you to choose organizing as a career.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/858E2C7A-9DFB-42FE-9AAB-DE9994F7F7D4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
