Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition

Indiana University administrators outlined a set of protections for students who had their visas revoked, according to the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition.

Indiana University announced Friday that it’s raising pay for graduate students with part-time research or teaching duties, but the union representing the workers isn’t satisfied.

The Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition is taking aim at President Pamela Whitten’s job with its new “Whitten goes, union grows” campaign.

The union representing Indiana University grad students voted “no confidence” in President Pamela Whitten and are exploring a strike after their demands went unanswered.

The IU Graduate Workers Coalition chose Sept. 25 for the vote on whether to strike. That day also is the add/drop deadline for semester-long classes.

For the first time in 17 years, faculty members petitioned the Executive Committee of the Bloomington Faculty Council to convene the full Bloomington faculty for a meeting; 625 faculty members voted in favor of union recognition.

Indiana State Senator Shelli Yoder and State Representative Matt Pierce wrote a letter Monday in support of unionization efforts by the graduate student workers of Indiana University.

An Indiana labor federation is throwing its support behind a group of IU graduate workers seeking to form a union.

Graduate workers have unionized in other states including California, New York, Washington and Oregon. But because of state laws, Indiana may differ.

Indiana University formally denied a request from roughly 1,600 graduate workers to hold a union election, contending they're primarily students, not staff.
