On September 3rd, VGWU hosted a forum on unionization with representative’s from Brown University’s Stand Up for Graduate Student Employees (SUGSE) and George University’s Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees (GAGE). We asked our representatives many questions about their experiences unionizing in the age of COVID-19, and what it has accomplished for them.
It was inspiring to hear from our colleagues at Brown and Georgetown, and to know that unionization will pave the path not just for better economic, academic, and collegial security, but for better friendships and community as well.
