This spring, Harvard graduate students successfully established a union. Negotiations between the union and the university will begin soon. Harvard joins schools such as Cornell, NYU, and Georgetown who have all agreed to or begun bargaining with unionized graduate student workers. Yale continues to struggle to establish a graduate student union, as the university is critical of the union’s procedures. The university claims that the chosen bargaining unit is not representative of the larger graduate student population, and thus does not agree to validate the vote.
