“I do see a trend of more ULP filings by student workers, but that also is consistent with the very high level of organizing of new bargaining units of new unions, particularly among grad workers and postdocs,” said UCLA Lecturer Mia McIver, the Chair of Higher Ed Labor United, a national organization with member unions representing over 225,000 higher education-related workers. McIver was elected president of the California Federation of Teachers University Council in 2023.
