The news that not every UC graduate student who went on strike is thrilled about the “breakthrough” tentative agreement hardly comes as a surprise to me. As I said in my last post, I was hoping that some graduate students would take a close look at the fine print of the proposed contract and realize that just because their union’s leadership claims that the new contract represents an “historic” moment in the labor done in the education industry, they must accept what they’ve been offered.
I hope that the vote is close enough to send a message to the union’s leadership that next time they had better do a better job negotiating on behalf of those they represent.
