14,000 Graduate Workers Join UE in First Four Months of 2023
Between January and April, over 14,000 graduate workers on five campuses across the country voted to join UE — all by margins of over 80 percent.
Graduate workers work in labs and offices and classrooms, performing the labor that makes universities run. They do research, teach, and grade papers. Their wages are rarely sufficient to live on. Many are subjected to harassment by their supervisors, who are often also their academic advisors. All of them need a union.
