Indiana University boasts some 10,000 graduate students, fully one quarter of whom are paid employees helping to teach undergrads among other tasks. More than 1700 of the paid grad students have signed union cards in the last six months. The Indiana Grad Workers Coalition is affiliated with the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America. The University so far has refused to recognize the union. Cole Nelson talks about the life of a paid grad student and his wish for the union to be recognized.
Hosts Michael Glab and Alex Ashkin chat with Bloomington’s most fascinating people.
