Temple contests TUGSA election
On April 26, Temple’s lawyers made an attempt to overturn the Temple University Graduate Students’ Association election results, contesting the Pennsylvania Labor Relation’s Board’s certification of TUGSA as the bargaining unit for Temple graduate employees.
The elections resulted in overwhelming support for the unionization of graduate students with 260 voting for and just 16 voting against.
According to a TUGSA press release, the move by Temple is unprecedented as a university has never tried to overturn graduate election results.
City Council is expected to condemn the university’s actions on May 3 at their meeting and TUGSA is planning a protest at the next Board of Trustees meeting to be held on May 8.
