Over the past several months, I have been hearing from my fellow graduate students about what we stand to gain or lose by forming a union. Today I am an enthusiastic supporter, but it took a lot of thought. I like the idea of unions, but did not think that my work at Duke would benefit from a union. When I thought about unions, I thought of workers in the auto industry, in fast food, and in construction. I was skeptical about forming a union, especially under the auspices of an organization I knew very little about.
