[PhDs] Unions

[Nette Worthey]

Just in the interest of transparency, I am on the list and have good administrative reasons to continue to be, however we did make this for you all, and if you feel strongly that you would like it only to be CCRMA PhDs I will unsubscribe (but I still need to be an admin). Let me know.

This might be a good moment in time to put pressure on the university while they are in a hard place and when they might make some decisions which are upsetting to many of the grad students. I know that at UC Berkeley it is mandatory to be a member of the union, even if you are an undergraduate just doing grading for a class (I was in that situation once). Maybe their precedent or some other could be used as a model.
