No UAW union for academic workers has negotiated a contract that requires all covered employees to make the same amount. And, because we as student workers will make our own decisions about our contract, we would likely not negotiate for or vote to approve a contract that requires all student workers to be paid the same. As an example, we could propose a wage structure like the one that student workers at the Harvard bargained that includes: A minimum salary; Guaranteed annual wage increases; The right of PIs to pay above the scale; and Strong enforcement provisions that enable us to grieve through the union if we donʼt receive contractual pay increases.
