University of Chicago Graduate Students Vote to Unionize

University of Chicago graduate students have voted to unionize by an overwhelming margin...A pro-unionization graduate student described how she viewed the stakes: “A lot of us are living in almost poverty conditions; we’re really overworked, the school’s not very supportive—it’s been great to have this group of grad students coming together.”

The administration argued for months that a union would not be in the best interests of graduate students.
