ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The University of Rochester graduate student workers have voted to authorize a strike.
The Graduate Labor Union’s organizing committee reported that 90% of members voted in favor.
The vote empowered the committee to call for a strike if the administration continues to block a fair union election. The union accused the university of betraying students’ trust by withdrawing from a recent election agreement.
The strike vote followed months of negotiations.
The University of Rochester released a statement on the strike vote: “While the university respects employees’ right to participate in a strike consistent with federal labor laws, it nevertheless strongly believes that a strike by graduate students is neither in their best interest nor the most effective means of resolving the differences between the parties,” officials said.
