Is There a Strike Authorization Vote?

Alex: Our concerns as graduate students are certainly very similar to a lot of the concerns that postdoctoral students have, except that we make even less money than they do. We also have a number of other issues that have come up and cost problems for students that we want to be able to have a union in order to rectify. I personally have been lucky enough to build up some savings living here, but many students, especially our first years coming right out of college, have not been able to do that.
