I agree, but my peers don’t despite my attempts to convince them (out of a sense of fear mostly, not aversion to the idea, as is often the case). Many are international students at my school and the state uses that as a cudgel for union breaking, as the law demolishes their immigrant worker/student status that relies on their position if they were to unionize.

Through a tremendous amount of effort, my boss and I have leveraged every ounce of pressure we have on the university administration to give us these necessary improvements to success, with full insurance coverage coming this fall.

Still fucking sucks that we basicallly had to rely on the support of the professors to make this a reality. It would be nice if that solidarity was affirmed by collective bargaining
