MIT Grad Students Vote Overwhelmingly For A Union

- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2024
- MIT is a world renowned research institution.
Yet, the 3,800 grad students who make it so are barely scraping by.
Now they’ve unionized. We spoke to members of the MIT Graduate Students Union about their recently victorious campaign.

The US need way more Union Representation in all areas of labor. Congratulations to the Grad Students of MIT. I'm very excited for your victory and all Union victories across the world.
Wow you can start a communism this way comrade/s
Congratulations!
Great segment! Appreciate the coverage.
Grad students pretty much everywhere are exploited for their labour and paid a barely livable wage, the workers have to rise up.
But it isn't a livable wage---in most Adjunct cases, when you really do the math of teaching and living, it's LESS than minimum wage. They want the best teachers who can't do math.
MIT: making free billions since slavery
Thanks for your expose on MIT!
This nation is deep the question is who is not crying?
Not to rain on your parade at all - congratulations MIT Grad Students! - but, realize the work has only just begun. If you want to keep your Union, strengthen your Union, and be able to use your Union to help benefit the broader working class, you’ve got a long and probably unforgiving road ahead of you. In the imperialist core - the center of world capitalism - these wins are often fleeting, as they are quickly targeted for “regime change”. It will take strength, unity, and serious political education of your members to be successful in the longterm.
But, I know you know this, and I know you can do it! Stay strong and stay in the fight!
I think your concern is valid. IMO workers care the most about the benefits. I doubt the union workers spend time trying to guard the union from infiltration or educating themselves on how to make a union more effective for the common people. These workers are already over worked. I wish them the best of luck but hope porn is killing what is left of the movement. Every comfortable person thinks things will get better so they don't have to make them better. We need to focus on helping people that deserve attention. Not everyone deserves our time and resources. Some people willing serve the oligarchy.
Capitalism, baby! Ya gotta love it.🤨👎🏿💩
Man, give it up for capitalism, big win.
Curious i did not see local people talking. Also is common that you do not raise money working for a university, if you wanna win money go for private sector....
Solidarity forever
Good to see
The sad thing , it took this long, but the new generations coming up, know they don't want to be used and abused.
How much are board members paid?
Cheap exploitation is over!
Collage football players need to do this.
Let's all celebrate all workers May 1st from this point on In the US

Brain drain from America would help the world & the researchers /developers
Comment!
Their hard work and research produces massive profits for lazy capitalists.
That’s dumb then don’t go to grad school
Myth of capitalism going bust.... socialism is not perfect either. Balance of both is hard to find an optimum....
All human constructs have flaws, and capitalism is evil.
it's not capitalism vs socialism. it's capitalism giving way to socialism. it's the inexorable march of history
If you graduated from MIT and you are in poverty you made a bad life decision. I went to a community college and I live just fine
Some like to do creative things.
@@urrywest we'll get creative and find a way out of "MIT poverty" lol
@@newedgegt305 Agreed with excape from academic indentured servatude.... But why do you think, like obama, that if you have more money that you are above the law and you get all the money no matter what you do?
These accademic twerps have more in common with you and me than the uber rich who get all the perks and all the money.... People acually like to work and create... It is the only way to create capitol. If we want to save the economy we must reward the makers and not the takers.
@ The most creative people in the world doing the most creative work in the world deserve to be paid enough to do the job well and stay if they want.
or society allocates wealth incorrectly
threaten them to send them all home! they'll soon quiet down. education at MIT is a privillege. that's why they are so proud to get in
Yes and they are putting in 50 hours, have to teach twerps.... They need to be able to set schedules so that they can effectivly teach and do research... They need time off as well.
It is frustrating to be in a lab with a grad student who's attention is divided when you are tying to do something creative.
50 hours is not enough if they want to be great, lol
@@glennjones7599 Usually it is more than 50...
tax payers paying for their wage ? maybe they should look for a job in private sector instead.
The US has been deindustrializing for years and years and years.
You could have watch the video or read what you wrote and realized wow this is nonsense maybe I shouldn’t embarrass myself.
Here’s a summary for you. Graduate students produce and MIT publishes it makes a massive amount of money off of while paying the graduate students early enough to live while attending the University. MIT will sell research to private companies and make bank. It has nothing to do with the very little money in some total that the institution receives from the government. And on the subject of using taxpayer money to pay for research that’s how technological innovation and development has worked predominantly in the past few hundred years. Private sector will take technology produced by the public funded research and make things with it while also putting a little bit into their own R&D R&D that is mostly looking at what publicly funded research has developed.
@@sojourner4726 all im saying is no one is forcing them to work there. All these students saying they get very little pay but they dont give you the exact amount I doubt they make less than people at starbucks who graduated from universities. These students are getting the benefit of working in the field they studied in and in return for a lower wage compare to market. Once they have enough knowledge they can seek out another job in the field.
MIT is a private university that makes billions off investments in fossil fuels, weapons, and many other industries every year. They are a corporation like any other.
@@KnowerofThings No one is forcing them to work there.
So why don't we just give more money to the uber rich so that they own everything and hope they give us enough to survive?
