PSU Graduate Employees Union Created
Several hundred members of Portland State University’s new Graduate Employees Union gathered on campus today, to officially announce the creation of the union, and request neutrality from the University’s administration.
The new union is comprised of over eight-hundred graduate employees, who organized in support of fair wages, affordable healthcare, and reasonable workloads.
The members delivered their request for neutrality to University President Wim Wiewel.
The request also calls for the administration to respect the new union’s right to organize.
For more information, KBOO’s Jamie Partridge was there on the PSU campus, and talked with union members Drew Mahedy and Jane Carr.
