NLRB rejects Duke’s challenge against Graduate Students Union, approves petition for official election

Lisa Henderson, regional director for Region 10 of the NLRB, wrote in her decision that the facts of the case have not “changed significantly” since the Region’s initial finding in 2017, when the DGSU held its first unionization drive. In doing so, Henderson rejected the University’s challenge against a 2016 NLRB decision affirming that doctoral candidates were employees with the right to unionize.
