Energy and excitement for our union and for the larger graduate worker movement continues to grow! Our overwhelming 93% strike vote sent Columbia a clear message to respect our democracy. Following our strike vote, a majority of graduate workers at Harvard voted in favor of unionization last week. This growing momentum makes clear that Columbia’s efforts to block our democratic rights here on our campus cannot hold back the rising tide of academic workers seeking to improve our conditions and make our universities more just and inclusive for all. Columbia administration needs to get on the right of history and negotiate with our union. CU on the lines tomorrow.
