Cornell University and the Cornell Association of Student Employees/UAW (CASE/UAW) reached agreements yesterday (July 11) that will allow a union representation election for the university's approximately 2,000 teaching assistants, research assistants, graduate research assistants and graduate assistants. The agreements define the bargaining unit, set dates for the National Labor Relations Board-administered election, and recognize that certain academic issues lie outside the scope of bargaining. The union and the university also agreed to procedures to be followed by both parties in the event that there are subsequent NLRB rulings that revise the present interpretation of the status of graduate student assistants as employees. Under the terms of the Agreement, the proposed bargaining unit will include graduate research assistants, research assistants, teaching assistants and graduate assistants who are graduate degree program students under the jurisdiction of the Graduate School and who receive a stipend and at least a 25 per cent tuition remission from the university. Other individuals and employees are expressly excluded from the proposed bargaining unit. (July 12, 2002)
