About us:
Graduate Students United is organized to support graduate student workers in the university. We take a broad definition of graduate student labor, although we primarily focus on the wage relationship. Our base is graduate student workers, but we aim for active solidarity with other workers in the university and the community of which the university is a part.
In the news:
We've recently been supporting Rallies for the Aramark Workers Solidarity Campaign on campus. We've also been in the Chicago Maroon: see Megan Wade's column on graduate solidarity, in response to the Maroon's negative editorial on our recent teach-out.
We've also been recently featured in the Chicago Reader, in Deanna Isaacs' article, "And All I Got Was This Lousy PhD." Earlier this year, we were mentioned in the Chronicle of Higher Education's blog On Hiring, in "Graduate Students Rally for More Aid at the U. of Chicago." And for more news, you could check out our sibling organization, the Graduate Funding Committee.
