IT'S THE POST YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR: UMN GRADUATE WORKERS HAVE A UNION! We won 2487 yes votes to 70 no- that's 97% in favor of a union! The hard work of countless graduate workers pays off!

[UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 @umnglu]

And finally, the news we've all been waiting for: This morning, we received confirmation that our union election will occur on April 25th, 26th, and 27th. A majority of UMN graduate workers have already pledged to vote YES! Let's hit the ground running and WIN OUR UNION!

I keep thinking about how, with two months notice that this ruling was coming, the democratic-controlled congress not only *didn't* codify abortion rights, but overwhelmingly passed a security bill protecting these SCOTUS justices
