Stanford Seeks to Halt NLRB Election for Undergraduate Research Assistants
Original: The Fight Over Columbia Heads West: Stanford Moves to Stay NLRB Election for Undergraduate RA’s
Stanford University has asked the National Labor Relations Board to postpone an election on union representation for its undergraduate research assistants, echoing the legal fight that began with Columbia University's graduate and undergraduate workers. The move extends the national dispute over whether student workers at private universities count as employees under labor law, with Stanford arguing the issue should be resolved before a vote proceeds.
Why now: The Columbia case set a precedent on student worker unionization, and Stanford's parallel legal challenge signals the dispute is spreading to other elite private universities.
