| Stony Brook University research assistants voted “yes” on Friday to the formation of a union. The vote passed 214 to 135, and the National Labor Relations board now officially recognizes the research assistants. Now that the vote passed the assistants will create a contract that will include everyone’s interests. Moreover, the contract will not be passed unless everyone votes yes on it. The union will provide the assistants with job security, a pay raise that will bring them to the average of other universities, and a grievance system among other things. “Our goal is to give research assistants at Stony Brook a voice,” according to the unions website. |
