50,000 Students In Higher Education ‘Have Unionized In Just Two Years’
Dave Jamieson at The Huffington Post reports on a wave of Labor Organizing that has been washing through U.S. Universities as Graduate Students and other Workers form new Unions on campus. More than 50,000 University Students have unionized over the past two years, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced. The new Bargaining Units include Graduate Student Teachers and Researchers, as well as Undergraduate Housing and Dining Employees. The campaigns have led to some of the biggest Union Elections in years, adding to the ranks of the Service Employees International Union, the United Auto Workers and other Unions better known for representing Blue Collar Employees. Though not as high-profile as organizing pushes at the likes of Amazon and Starbucks, the campus victories have been a bright spot for Organized Labor. All told, there are 51 new Unions formed on campuses since 2022, representing roughly 50,300 Workers, according to the NLRB.
