Harvard denied a grievance filed by its graduate student union regarding the exclusion of 108 Population Health Sciences students from the union’s bargaining unit.
The University issued the decision on Jan. 6 in response to the grievance filed by Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers on Dec. 3. The union alleged in the Step One grievance — the first stage in the grievance process per its contract with the University — that the exclusion violated multiple articles in their contract that define the bargaining unit and rights and protections associated with union membership.
