Cries in Texas Graduate Student who is legally prevented from unionizing 🫠

Having to petition my university for basic considerations (not owing back tution to the university despite being employed by them, getting health care covered, getting pay raises so we can afford to live where we work) has been hell without any union support.

Fuck Texas, can't wait to finish up here and move.

Fuck it, unionize anyway? 🤷🏼‍♂️

  1. The union being made illegal means the uni has no obligation to listen

  2. They can be sued for making the union, and the lawsuit will probably be successful.

  3. Any union action will be met with a probably-successful lawsuit.

Best thing they can do is find another job and quit.

Yep. Current me would have told younger me to get the fuck out and go to a different grad school literally anywhere else. I now tell that to prospective graduate students whenever I meet with them.
