Duke owes grad workers better rhetoric
(02/03/17 8:50pm)
As graduate student employees at Duke prepare for union elections, their university is pushing back. This is to be expected. University presidents across the U.S. have been vocal in their opposition to grad worker unions, and it’s easy to see why. When grad workers unionize, the university is legally bound to consider their interests as they—the grad workers—voice them. This means one fewer budget area where administrators may cut corners in the hopes of going unnoticed.
