Graduate Students Win the Right to Form Unions

Students chat on campus at Columbia University in Morningside Heights in New York, N.Y.

Last week, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that graduate students at private institutions have the right to unionize. Paul Katz, Columbia University graduate student, and Julie Kushner, director of UAW Region 9A, discuss the particulars of the ruling and what it means for teaching and research assistants at private schools.
