Penn grad students authorize a strike
Graduate students at the University of
Pennsylvania, seeking recognition to
unionize, last night voted to hold a strike on the
Ivy League campus on
Thursday and Friday. Union organizers said last
night that 83 percent of
more than 200 students attending voted to go ahead
with a strike. "It's a
measure of the frustration we have with the
university's legal obstruction,"
said graduate student spokesman Dillon Brown. "It
also shows that graduate
students are eager to demonstrate how much they
want their votes to be
counted."
