Mission
We are RPI Graduate Student Workers and are currently organizing our workplace to form a union. Our graduate students experience a range of common issues related to low pay, inadequate protections, and inconsistent health insurance. A union would give us bargaining power determine the conditions of our employment.
The isolation between departments has kept grad students at RPI from forming a larger community. For a union to represent the interests of all graduate students it is important for the organizing committee to be representative of our whole workforce. For this reason, we want at least one representative from each department. We are door knocking and tabling to garner support and find active participants interested in more formally organizing towards a union. We can only do this by working together so get informed and get involved if you'd like to transform the lives of graduate students at RPI.
