By a vote of 1599 Yes to 122 No, USC Grad Student Workers have voted resoundingly in favor of forming our union, GSWOC-UAW!
More information will be coming soon now that we have voted to form our union. Next steps will include electing a bargaining team, deciding on initial bargaining demands, and beginning to negotiate with USC administration. For now, a huge Thank You to everyone who participated in the NLRB election. Together, we have already generated an unprecedented conversation about our work and our working conditions.
In solidarity,
