Inside Higher Ed: ew York University is once again center stage in the legal and policy debate over whether graduate teaching assistants at private universities can form unions.
On Tuesday, the United Auto Workers announced that it was formally asking the university to recognize a union of graduate research and teaching assistants, and that -- if the recognition is not offered -- the union will ask the National Labor Relations Board to order an election. The union said that more than half of the university's 1,800 teaching and research assistants have signed authorization cards requesting a union and that those cards have been certified by the American Arbitration Association.
