Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) came out in support of graduate student employees’ unionization efforts at the University of Pittsburgh as she tries to burnish her progressive credentials in a Democratic presidential primary field.
“Hello to all my friends at the University of Pittsburgh. I’ve been following your organizing campaign and your upcoming election to form a union. Your voices are important and want to see you win this one. I’m behind you 100 percent,” she said in a video posted to Twitter.

Pittsburgh University graduate students will vote later this month to help employees attending the university to unionize.
“[T]he Grads Together campaign at the University of Pittsburgh gathers graduate student employees who want to collectively work towards securing our benefits and a voice in decisions that shape our work as teachers and researchers in a binding contract that cannot be unilaterally changed by the university administration,” the group Grads Together says on its website.
