We are excited to share a letter in support of our union campaign from faculty members of the Department of English at Northeastern. In their letter, the faculty write that collective bargaining is a right of American workers and that graduate students should have the right to vote for a union.

They write “The administration’s opposition to the students’ efforts is inconsistent with Northeastern’s values and mission, seems calculated only to further alienate graduate students, and is deeply disappointing to the faculty of the English Department.”

And they call on the administration to respect our right to vote and accept the results of an election. Read the full letter here.

Thank you to English faculty for their support!
