Towards the end of September, the NLRB proposed a change to the rule governing the employment status of graduate students at private colleges and universities. If this rule passes, it would eliminate graduate students’ rights to compensation, benefits, and unionization. The new proposal would essentially strip graduate student workers of their employee status. If passed, this could also mean that graduate students would no longer receive health insurance.
