Yale's Labor Strife Leads Some of Its Ph.D.'s To Abandon Academe for Union Organizing.

Leatherman, Courtney

Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n15 pA16-A17 Dec 5 1997

Over five years, nearly a dozen graduate students and twice as many undergraduates have pursued jobs in labor after leaving Yale University (Connecticut). Most participated in activities of the Graduate Employees and Students Organization on campus during a period of unrest among teaching assistants. More aggressive labor leadership has been attempting to make stronger connections with graduate students. (MSE)
