Working Toward a Fair Contract

In November, 2023, eligible graduate student workers voted to approve the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America (UE) as their exclusive representative for the purposes of collective bargaining.

Since March, 2024, the university and the union have engaged in more than 20 collective bargaining sessions. As we work toward a final contract, Cornell will continue to support our students and work to ensure that all students have a voice in this process.
