FACE: Florida State Grads Say Yes to the Union

When the ballots were counted this past Friday, it was clear that graduate employees at Florida State University wanted a union. By an overwhelming vote of 448-140, FSU grads voted in favor of the United Faculty of Florida being their sole representative for the purposes of collective bargaining. The new union, the FSU Graduate Assistants United, will represent 2,800 graduate employees.
