Community college faculty are a major labour force in the U.S. and constitute one-third of all postsecondary education faculty. With approximately 1,000 public community colleges in the U.S. and a total number of faculty in excess of 270,000 out of a postsecondary total of 976,000 full and part-time faculty nation-wide (Phillippe & Patton, 2000), community colleges are significant employers of faculty in higher education. As a labour force, community college faculty epitomize professional work in the new economy and the post-bureaucratic organization: they are predominantly temporary or part-time; the majority bargain collectively for a restricted compensation package; they are not only influenced but also structured in their work by new technologies; and, they are agents of a corporate ideology that arguably makes them instruments and not autonomous professionals at all.
