Other university workers have asked themselves this question in the past fifteen years and they've come up with some pretty exciting answers. Indeed, the unionization of college and university clerical employees has been one of the few bright spots in the labor movement.

You might check out the recent books on Yale by Toni Gilpin and Harvard by John Hoerr. There's a lot to learn from those experiences.
