Union Ruling Questioned By Stephen Greenhouse The New York Times March 7, 2002
|
| Only days before a scheduled vote, Columbia University has asked the National Labor Relations Board to overturn a recent ruling by the board's New York office, which held that the university's 1,900 graduate research and teaching assistants were employees and had the right to unionize. Columbia argues that the assistants are students, not workers. The labor board has scheduled voting on March 13, 14 and 19 on whether the graduate assistants want to join the United Auto Workers. The request for review will not stop the vote. |
