The National Center's report highlights a significant increase in graduate student unionization, with numbers soaring from 64,400 in 2012 to 150,100 by early 2024, marking growth to 38% unionization.
Joe Berry emphasizes the main reason for unionization is the rising casualization of faculty, transforming most faculty into contingent workers, motivating the push for better conditions.
Despite overall trends indicating a shift toward unionization in higher education, union membership among faculty has seen slower growth at a 7% increase from 2012.
Berry points out the campus labor movement's resilience, stating it's remained one of the strongest factions within the labor movement despite broader economic challenges over recent decades.
