Anti-Union vote in Minnesota. Adjuncts at University of Saint Thomas reject SEIU.

The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that a move to try to unionize adjunct faculty was turned down.  The SEIU was attempting to unionize the faculty, but the vote did not go the way that they expected.  The article states:

The Service Employees International Union is accustomed to winning—persuading adjunct faculty members to unionize on campuses around the country.
But this week, the SEIU suffered a rare setback when adjuncts at the University of Saint Thomas, in St. Paul, voted against forming a union.
The union movement is still growing in Minnesota, though, as it is across the country, SEIU officials said. They characterized the defeat at Saint Thomas as stemming from a unique situation in which many adjuncts wanted to try to work with the university’s leadership before forming a union to negotiate.
