3500 Harvard grad student workers are voting this week on joining the UAW. Avery Davis is with Harvard Graduate Students Union - UAW.
[Avery Davis]: "We are trying to form a union here at Harvard University because as graduate students we perform teaching and research for the university. We believe that the university's crucial mission is the teaching and research work.
Since we do this crucial work for the university, we deserve a say in determining our work conditions.
And a union will let us have that. It will make Harvard a better place for current and future students. And will help higher ed have the people who are really doing the work having a say and having better living conditions."
