Dive Brief:
- Graduate employees of New York University have voted to form a bargaining unit affiliated with the United Auto Workers.
- NYU had long opposed the students' move to organize but last month reached a compromise that allowed it to come to a vote.
- The vote creates a bargaining unit of 1,247 graduate employees.
Dive Insight:
The compromise agreement that allowed this to come to a vote means that some graduate research assistants are not part of the bargaining unit. But that may not be the end of that: The union has suggested that it will pursue efforts to organize them, too.
