"These victories were made possible because workers united around demands that focused on raising up the pay, dignity, and equality of those stuck in the lowest job tiers (those often categorized as “temps” or “part-time”)—undermining the “divide and rule” strategy of management.

The tiering of work, as it turns out, is NOT unique to academia."
