224 Penn Faculty | Statement in support of graduate worker unionization

(04/09/24 11:46pm)

This year, a supermajority of Penn’s graduate research and teaching assistants signed cards indicating their desire to form a union, and this April, they will finally have the chance to vote to do so. As Penn faculty, we affirm these student workers’ right to organize — a right explicitly recognized by the National Labor Relations Board. We affirm the value of the research and teaching they do, without which our university could not function. And we recognize that in building a union together, they are striving to make Penn a better, fairer, and more democratic university — one in which those who do the work of research and teaching have a voice in institutional policies that affect their lives, and in which working conditions are equitable. Today, graduate research and teaching assistants are unionized at virtually all of Penn’s peer institutions. Having a democratic voice at work has become a national norm for graduate student workers, and we support the efforts of graduate student workers at Penn to bring our university in line with this norm.
