I’m not sure they would have a case for unionization though. College profs already have protection against arbitrary firing through their tenure; they don’t need more protection and everyone, including the big donor alumni who actually pay most of the university’s bills, knows it.
Well as someone pointed out earlier there is an effort to unionize profs. ( I hadn’t heard of it!) I did know about the effort to unionize grad students.
I am almost sympathetic since I was once a grad student! Below minimum wage pay. My big pet peeve - if you’re in the sciences and you do lab work low concern for lab safety. (I could tell personal stories!)
