Bargaining teams for the University and its graduate student union reached a tentative one-year contract Monday, which they will now unanimously recommend to union members for ratification.
The contract — the union’s first — represents the outgrowth of a 19-month series of bargaining sessions between the two parties, punctuated by a strike in December.
Graduate student workers at the University first voted to unionize as Harvard Graduate Student Workers-United Automobile Workers in April 2018. The two sides began bargaining later that year in October.
