A respected local University shocked its faculty and its students recently by abruptly ending labor negotiations and invoking a religious exemption to shut down a campus union. In this episode, we hear from professors fighting for fair pay, job security, and respect in a high-stakes labor battle at Loyola Marymount University.
Brian Wisch and Linh Hwa, both non-tenure track (NTT) faculty at LMU and members of the union, explain the vital importance of NTT teachers at colleges and universities, discuss their working conditions and wages at LMU, and recount how ongoing labor negotiations were scuttled last month when the Jesuit university claimed national labor law did not apply to the school.
