CAMBRIDGE (CBS) — A group of Harvard University graduate students are looking to unionize, according to one report. The Harvard Crimson reports that some graduate students are in the early stages of forming a union, and advocates say it’ll put students in a better position to negotiate with the university.

This has been going on for about at least a year, that I know of... and snowballing nationwide.

It’s making college yet MORE expensive across the board, for all concerned.

Because in the END, tuition is where the $$$$ will be generated to cover this.

Hey! Why NOT... the US taxpayer will pick up the tab! :)

Where else!?

if there are a significant number of Black Grad Students at Harvard some portion may well end up in the enomous coffers of Revrunt Sharpton’s Axshun Netwerk

Perhaps they’ll be guaranteed that a union (government) job awaits upon graduation. A very effective and clever way to speed up the destruction of our nation. Just accept that you’re a union (government) serf and you will be taken care of.

Maybe Hahvahd should dip into its multi-billion dollar endowment and share some of that money with the downtrodden grad students.
