Grad Assistants at Loyola Chicago Unionize
Graduate student assistants at Loyola University at Chicago voted to form a union affiliated with Service Employees International Union, they announced Tuesday. A total of 120 out of 210 eligible graduate assistants voted, with 71 voting for the union and 49 voting against it. The National Labor Relations Board, in a major decision in August, reversed past legal precedent against graduate student unions on private campuses.
