by the union when they went to the polls. These students were
listed as eligible voters and should be allowed to vote. Why is a
union that does not want to leave any graduate students behind
challenging their right to vote? Oddly enough the union did not
challenge colleagues of these students who have similar TA-ships
and were pro-union. Even if you believe that they did not attempt
to gerrymander the eligible voters during the NLRB hearings,
challenging these graduate student voters is a blatant attempt to try
and gerrymander the election in their favor. In addition, we have
also been informed that some graduate student voters think that
they don't need to vote because the votes will be impounded
anyway. This is flat out not true. They are correct that the votes
will be impounded, but everyone should still vote. Each and every
vote cast will be counted, assuming that the union's ridiculous
challenges are not upheld.
Exercise your rights. Vote NO and put an end to this union issue.
