Team Talk, Lab Meeting, Journal Club #1: The UC Strike & Unionizing

  • Summary

  • In this ~special~ episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana speaks with her DGS team members, Aubrey Tingler and William Ota, about the University of California strike, the conditions which drive grad students to strike, & their views on the topic.

    If you’re a grad student, you've probably been told you're a student when it comes to pay and benefits, & an employee when you try to access student services. This means graduate students are vulnerable to exploitation by universities. On top of the emotional and financial costs of pursuing graduate education, working conditions have not kept up with inflation, rising class sizes, or cost of living, which makes it hard to survive for anyone, let alone the many marginalized groups in academia. In California, this resulted in three unions represented graduate student educators (TAs), graduate student researchers (GSRs), and post-docs in the University of California system to go on strike. Listen for the DGS team talk to learn more.
