Student workers are bracing for the incoming Trump administration to “constrict or eliminate” their labor rights, after a surge in union organizing on college campuses. N formed unions between 2022 to 2024 between 44 bargaining units. As of earlier this year, an of all graduate student employees in the US were unionized. But organizers fear this trend will stutter as Trump prepares to return to office. During his first presidency, officials 1.5 million private college and university student employees from exercising collective bargaining rights under the National Labor Relations Act, arguing these workers were not “employees”. While the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the country’s top labor watchdog, withdrew this proposal months after Joe Biden took office in March 2021, Trump’s re-election sets the stage for another battle. William A Herbert, executive director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions, predicted sweeping changes under Trump once his administration overhauls the labor watchdog. “Once President Trump appoints a new majority of NLRB board members, future decisions by that majority are likely to constrict or eliminate existing labor rights on private sector campuses,” said Herbert. Trump may try again to overrule a 2016 decision which held that graduate and undergraduate student employees were covered under the National Labor Relations Act, Herbert suggested, and the new NLRB general counsel could modify or abandon the board’s current approach to college athletes. At some colleges, student workers are trying to pre-empt such action. “There is that feeling of knowing of what may or may not happen next in the new year,” said Dia Brown, an engineering graduate student employee at Penn State. “It just makes it feel more important to keep pushing forward.” Earlier this month, a union election petition was with the Pennsylvania labor board by the Coalition of Graduate Employees at Penn State-UAW to around 5,000 graduate student employees. Trump’s victory “makes it even more important to make sure that we get this [union] election, so that we can get into bargaining, get a contract and get more security for all of our grad students”, said Brown who cited securing protections for international students as a top priority in the face of Trump’s plan to enact mass deportations. Some schools around the US have international students to arrive on campuses before Trump takes office. “My expenses are so cutthroat with the funding that I get through my stipend each month,” Brown added. “I want me and ... other grad students like me, who are struggling financially with the current stipends, to be able to feel confident to meet their needs, and meet their living expenses too.” “They really need to make this a better, more secure workplace and ultimately a better institution,” added Owen Harrington, a geography graduate student employee at Penn State. “So it’s about time.” A date for a union election has not yet been set by the Pennsylvania labor board. A spokesperson for Penn State said in an email: “When we receive the petition, we will carefully review it, taking all perspectives into account. We remain committed to open dialogue as we move forward in this process.” Elsewhere, however, graduate student employees attempting to unionize have already hit resistance as colleges await the second Trump presidency. At Vanderbilt, a private university in Nashville, Tennessee, graduate student workers filed a petition for a union election to join the United Auto Workers in October, with the university opposing the effort, they were students rather than workers. The university also a complaint against the NLRB, which had requested student information to determine the scope of the union election and prospective bargaining unit. After a judge ruled in the university’s favor, the UAW withdrew the election petition earlier this month. Such withdrawals have been a rarity in recent years: graduate student workers won of union elections from 2022 to 2024, often in at some of the top universities in the US,. “The union’s decision to withdraw its petition and demand provides a path for us to move forward together,” Vanderbilt officials said in a But Vanderbilt Graduate Workers United made clear it was not backing down. “This is not a defeat,” it said in a , claiming the university “beat the law and got lucky with national political events. They did not beat US!” As thousands of student workers attempt to unionize, national political events will probably have an outsized impact on their efforts in the years ahead.Rotary Steerable System Market to Observe Prominent CAGR of 7.80% by 2031, Size, Share, Trends, Demand, Growth, Challenges and Competitive OutlookITGR Stock Soars to All-Time High, Reaching $141.01
Believe it or not, Cowboys might have hope yet after chaotic win at Washington
Keane watched the match in a live watch along with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright in a live YouTube special Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim (PA) Roy Keane suggested Ruben Amorim has a ‘massive job on his hands’ after he oversaw his first defeat as Manchester United manager in a comprehensive 2-0 win at Arsenal. Arsenal reduced Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points with a crucial against United at the Emirates Stadium. After Fabian Schar’s late equaliser denied Liverpool victory at St James’ Park, Mikel Arteta’s men were offered the chance to inch closer to the summit. And the Gunners did not disappoint with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scoring from corners in the second half to provide the hosts with a win that kept their title hopes alive. Keane gave his verdict on a Stick To Football special on YouTube, as he suggested the flaws that have undermined United for the last few years will be tough for Amorim to erase. "You are on about these players, but what are we expecting from them? What have we seen from them for the last three or four years? This is what we have seen," said Keane. "We've seen them do well in the cup but in the league, this is what we’ve seen. “What was I expecting? For Man United to go and win at Arsenal? No, but I was expecting them to have a go and if they get beat 2-1 or 3-1, but they must be sitting in the dressing room afterwards wondering what happened. "They need to look in the mirror and ask if they gave everything tonight. Arsenal will be looking back saying ‘that wasn't too bad’. "I’m really disappointed with Manchester United. I thought the players were going through the motions a little bit. “He’s only in the door, but the manager’s probably thinking he thought United were a bit better than this. I was getting really frustrated at the end there.” Keane also suggested United’s hope of a top four finish in the Premier League may be forlorn after their latest disappointing display. "It shows you what a job Amorim has to do there,” he continued. “It’s a massive job. That was obviously their toughest game and they have come up well short. "When you see them come up against a good team like Arsenal, they are a long way off. "I can’t see United finishing in the top six. Can you? "It’s good that he has come in now and he’s taking the hits rather than everyone expecting him to fix it if had a pre-season. It’s a massive job he’s taken on.” Keane also gave his verdict on the title race on a night when Liverpool’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle meant their lead at the top of the table was trimmed to seven points after wins for Arsenal and Chelsea. "I’ll stick with Liverpool,” he added. “Obviously they will be kicking themselves to draw, but they scored three goals away from home and they have a big game at Everton at the weekend.”Stock Traders Purchase High Volume of Call Options on Ocean Power Technologies (NASDAQ:OPTT)Days after Azerbaijan Airlines crash , Russia allegedly released a controversial Christmas propaganda video .

Notably, Moscow has declined to comment on Azerbaijan plane crash reports that claimed that the plane could have been accidentally shot down by its air defence. Russia has said that Grozny, the Chechen capital where the plane was meant to land, was being attacked by Ukrainian drones that day. It crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau Wednesday, killing 38 of the 67 people on board. The Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near the western Kazakh city of Aktau, on the shores of the Caspian Sea. It was carrying out a flight between Azerbaijan's capital Baku and the city of Grozny in Russia. For several days, some Western experts have been pointing to a crash caused by a Russian anti-aircraft missile. Citing preliminary results of an investigation, Azerbaijan's transport minister said Friday that the crash suffered physical "external interference." Statements from Azerbaijan citing the investigation into the incident suggest Baku believes the plane was hit mid-air.

AI Powers the Fight Against ALS LAS VEGAS , Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --A partnership between Compass UOL, an AI transformation services company, and non-profit EverythingALS is using artificial intelligence to address Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), one of the most intractable puzzles in medicine. EverythingALS and Compass UOL will officially launch their partnership on December 4 at 4:00 PM PT at the annual AWS re:Invent conference in this city, at the AWS for Healthcare and Life Sciences booth within the AWS for Industries Pavilion. The initiative aims to accelerate breakthroughs in ALS care and research by training and supporting 2,000 computational biologists and AI engineers dedicated to understanding and combating ALS and related neurodegenerative diseases as part of Vision 2030 program of EverythingALS. EverythingALS, a patient-focused non-profit set up by The Peter Cohen Foundation, is driving innovation in ALS research by combining biotechnology with data science, working closely with Harvard Medical School , Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT , and pharmaceutical and biotech companies, including Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Bristol Myers Squibb, and MT Pharma, among others. "The time is now," said Indu Navar , whose foundation honors the memory of Peter Cohen , her late husband and an Amazon.com veteran and senior founding team member of AWS. Cohen held multiple leadership roles during his tenure at Amazon before losing his life to ALS in 2019. "AI and computational power are unlocking mysteries of the brain that were once inaccessible," Navar said. Navar, a tech entrepreneur herself and Peter Cohen's wife, founded EverythingALS to fulfill her husband's vision of applying technological innovation to cure ALS. Navar has made it her mission to save millions of lives from brain diseases. "This partnership allows us to honor Peter's legacy by harnessing data and technology to better understand ALS and ultimately save lives," she said. Compass UOL contributes its AI transformation experience and the work of a team of over 6,000 experts in AI, data and digital platforms at the AI Revolution Company, its parent organization. "We are racing to train the next generation of experts in computational biology to tackle diseases such as ALS and related brain diseases," said Dao Jensen , President of Compass UOL's AWS Business Unit in the U.S. Last year, Compass UOL announced a training initiative with AWS support to help 15,000 computer science students in universities worldwide learn to program cloud platforms using generative AI tools. ALS is a nervous system disease that affects control of the muscles needed to move, speak, eat, and breathe. There is still no cure for this fatal disease, made more widely known by baseball legend Lou Gehrig . "I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for," said Gehrig in closing his speech. He might have well said it for the Compass UOL and EverythingALS alliance, which 85 years and a several technological and scientific breakthroughs later, is racing for a cure in the same unbreakable spirit.
