The Associated Press surveys graduate students unionists’ reactions to yesterday’s NLRB decision:
“Clearly, anybody who starts grad school understands there are going to be sacrifices,” said Jahanbani, 27, who is pursuing a doctorate in American history. “At the same time, there are basic rights any employee has the right to expect. Health care. A decent wage. Some respect in the workplace.”
NYU is the only private university that’s recognized a graduate student union. In 2002, graduate students there negotiated stipend increases of up to 40 percent, as well as improved health care benefits…”The impact of the contract was huge,” said Elena Gorfinkel, a graduate student in cinema studies, who will have an $18,000 stipend next year, considerably higher than in the past. “It made the university accountable to us in a way.”
…Several graduate students said they weren’t surprised that a Republican-controlled NLRB would reverse the NYU decision. “I’m more disappointed in Brown University, in these leaders of prestigious universities that are beacons of progressive politics,” Jahanbani said. “I’m surprised that (Brown), this bastion of progressive thought, would hand such a juicy morsel over to the anti-labor movement.”
Amen.
