Congrats Duke Grad Students on Historic Victory!
Our sisters, brothers, and kin at Duke Graduate Students Union have pulled off a historic, landslide victory - instantly and officially becoming one of the largest unions in North Carolina! Theirs is the first ever such victory at a private university in the South and the largest union victory in North Carolina since 2008.
Since coming up short in their first attempt in 2016, Duke Grad Union members never gave up on their campaign for respect and the freedom to thrive while working at one of the wealthiest private universities in the nation, one which fought tooth-and-nail to deny them their freedom to join together. Nevertheless, they persisted, and because of them others will know that when workers stand up and stand strong together, victory is possible - even in the South!
Add your name to our victory card to wish them congratulations and pledge your solidarity in their next fight for a fair first contract!
