Abstract

The article discusses the rise of graduate labor unions in the United States, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the poor treatment of graduate workers. It highlights the increasing reliance on graduate students for academic instruction and the low pay they receive compared to other teaching positions. The article also mentions legal battles faced by graduate labor unions, with some universities challenging unionization efforts. However, through organizing and protest actions, many universities now have active graduate labor unions. The article emphasizes the purpose of a graduate labor union, which is to advocate for the rights and well-being of its members through collective agreement negotiations and support in case of contract violations.
