My impression is that in the US, the very first TA unions have begun in the last 5-10 years. I would be surprised if graduate student unions have been responsible for increases in salary, benefits for grad students over the time period you mention. | |
| May 9, 2014 at 12:52 | comment | added | darthbith | Thanks for the answer! I'm curious if you have any specific cases in mind where non-union schools have increased compensation/benefits/etc. to match unionized schools. It seems to me that graduate students would not pick their graduate school based on the peripherals, but rather based on the faculty they would work with. This would seem to reduce the leverage of grad students at non-union schools and reduce the incentive of the school to match the unionized school's benefits. But of course, I don't have any specific cases in mind so I can't take my own advice! :-) | |
