Session Description

We are in the midst of a significant unionization wave in higher education. Despite the tangible benefits that labor unions offer workers generally and graduate workers particularly, there is little discussion or study in engineering education of the importance of labor unions, labor education, and the relationships of engineers to labor unions. This panel brings together graduate worker labor organizers in engineering and engineering education to share successes and lessons learned across various union campaigns.
