We have an election date! Vote Yes on April 4th and 5th!

ON MONDAY, APRIL 4th and TUESDAY, APRIL 5th WE WILL VOTE YES FOR affordable housing, dental insurance, protections and benefits for international students, and fair and clear job expectations.

We’re unionizing so we can focus on conducting world-class research. Only when every single scholar at MIT — every electrical engineer, historian, chemist, architect, evolutionary biologist — is empowered to show up fully for their work will we reach our true potential.

The MIT administration hoped to delay our vote by triggering a lengthy legal process aimed at denying Fellows the right to vote for our union. In response, our union agreed to a two-step election process granting the majority of graduate workers their right to vote for our union as soon as possible.

ELECTION LOGISTICS

RAs and TAs (including hourly appointments or fellowship appointments accompanied by a partial RA/TA appointment) will vote on April 4th and 5th. Following that, the Labor Board will rule on MIT’s argument that Fellows should be denied their right to vote for our union and set a date for the Fellows election.

Date: 4/4 and 4/5

Location: Morss Hall in Walker Memorial
When: 9am-1pm ET, 2:30-3:30pm ET, and 5:30-8:30pm ET

By unionizing we ensure we have the best working and learning conditions we need to do the world class research we came here to do.

Take a stand with thousands of your coworkers and vote YES because our voices matter.

Sign the “I’m voting Yes!” petition!
