The Fight Against Graduate Unions with Jon Hartley

Graduate student unions are on the rise, and they’re not like the workers' unions of the 1950s and 1960s—they are something all their own. At the heart of these unions sit many of the issues sending our universities into decay: social justice activism, radical politics, and woke culture.

Jon Hartley joins to discuss the battle against these institutions.
