Yeah, that thread was memorable due to the large standard deviation of ass-hattery in it -- the usual suspects were present, but some unexpected contributions were made by posters who were not ordinarily given over to douchebaggery.

I think the argument was that it was part of education and therefore they didn't have the right to unionize any more than a normal student.

I remember when the Yale grad. students wanted the Yale employees to put their jobs on the line so that the students could try to form a union. That upset me a bit. Otherwise, I support graduate unions.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
