Unionization in the Academy is elegantly written, well researched, and carefully reasoned in its responses to questions of faculty unionization. Supplemented by a collection of engaging essays by insightful contributors, DeCew's balanced treatment displays a deep appreciation for both the ideals and the realities of higher education. This excellent book will greatly benefit faculty, administrators, student leaders, trustees, legislators, and anyone else trying to understand the difficult but very important topic of unionization in the academic world.

This book is essential reading for everyone in the academy-from student to president.

This book is highly readable, very well-balanced, and grounded in the literature of so many fields; a really fresh look at an important topic at the frontiers of unionism. Unionization in the Academy could make a wonderful reading for the students-a real eye-opener for those just entering universities. I could also see it used in my undergraduate and graduate industrial relations courses to expand on the theories and factual information we discuss in class.
