Statement from the Barnard-Columbia ISO Branch – November 21, 2018: We, members of the Barnard-Columbia branch of the International Socialist Organization, are excited about the successful recognition of the Graduate Workers of Columbia as the exclusive bargaining agent for graduate employees at our University. As graduate employees, undergraduate students, and workers on and off this campus, we know that this legal recognition and agreement to bargain from the Bollinger administration comes after years of organizing and struggle, and we commend all of the union activists and organizers from the past and present who’ve fought to win this step forward.
