This photo taken Monday, Oct. 28, 2013, shows William Shimer, part-time lecturer in management and organizational development at Northeastern University, standing for a portrait on the school's campus, in Boston.

Shimer said he never imagined being part of the union movement. But he has been rallying his colleagues to support an upcoming vote on whether to form a union.
