Managed Professionals is a source book on the negotiated terms of faculty work and a sociological analysis of the restructuring of faculty as a professional workforce. Based on a sample of forty-five percent of the more than 470 negotiated faculty agreements nationwide (which cover over 242,000 faculty), the book offers extensive examples and analysis of contractual provisions on: salary structures; retrenchment; use and working conditions of part-time faculty; use of educational technology (in distance education); outside employment; and intellectual property rights. Focused on the ongoing negotiation of professional autonomy and managerial discretion, the book offers insights into the broad restructuring of faculty, with conclusions that extend beyond unionized faculty to all of academe. Faculty are managed professionals, and are increasingly so. Managers have much flexibility, and as they seek to reorganize colleges and universities, the exercise of their flexibility serves to heighten the divisions within the academic profession and to reconfigure the professional workforce on campus.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Ann E. Kingsolver
Definitions of work, workers, work roles, and workplaces are contested frequently in the U.S., as elsewhere. In our efforts to describe the experiences, identities, and ideologies of workers, researchers of labor and power in the U.S. sometimes confront the limits of class analysis. Centralized and decentralized technologies, the changing organization of production and consumption, the competing loci of control over worksites (as, for example, at the intersections of multinational corporate ownership and local management), and workplaces that in no way resemble shop floors all contribute to the need for forms of analysis that take into account complex power relations and the confusing hat-swapping between labor and management invoked by "shared" management models. In these times of blurred boundaries, in which livelihoods are not always housed within the walls of a single, traditional workplace and opportunities for labor organization are decreasing, we need to look for the complex ways in which workers defy anonymity and actively define work and work relations. Approaches for studying the changing texture of power and work in the U.S. are the focal concern of the authors in this volume.
