sorry it’s so bananas to me that they can still go with this “grad students aren’t employees” line when the NLRB has already ruled to the contrary and *tons of our colleagues at competitor schools are already unionized*

and of course they hired Littler Mendelson, the biggest union buster law firm out there

Loving that, "No, honey, this isn't what's best *for you*."

Grad students are usually both students and employees. That shouldn't be complicated should it?

"grad students aren't employees" is one of the most "do I look stupid to you?" things it's possible for a university admin to say. real "oh worm?" stuff
