Brown Grad Student Unionism

Need to congratulate the Brown graduate students for winning a union contract. This is actually a big deal. Private schools have been harshly anti-union. While Democratic presidents have opened up collective bargaining to graduate students, Republican administrations, including this one, have pushed to reverse that. What this means is that private schools can basically wait it out until the next administration. Brown probably did not have to negotiate this in good faith. But they did. This is a huge precedent. Georgetown has recently won the same rights. Let us hope it spreads.
