> Adjuncts now make up well over 50 percent of the faculty at colleges and universities.

Unless you think that a fairly large percentage of colleges are religious and have a religious exemption from letting their faculty unionise, this may not be what you're looking for. ^^;

She would get a better deal. Still not good but better one.

I'm not following your logic there. How does working for a secular university give her a better deal?

I can see how working in a union might - but that's not necessarily the same thing.
