Recently, there has been an increase in organizing efforts amongst graduate student workers on college campuses which aligns with the Democratic majority taking over the NLRB in 2021. In addition to the massive academic worker strike occurring across the UC campuses, thousands of graduate workers at Yale University will vote this week on whether to unionize. These graduate students have expressed the desire for union support to establish clear grievance procedures where they can voice concerns regarding work conditions.
