Penn State graduate students rally for unionization to secure better pay and protections.

Graduate students at Penn State University are advocating for unionization to secure better protections, healthcare influence, and higher pay, driven by rising living costs. About 200 attendees rallied for this cause, with 70% of students supporting a petition to join the United Auto Workers (UAW). Despite past challenges, they seek to establish a local UAW chapter, emphasizing solidarity and worker rights. Penn State acknowledged the movement, reiterating its support for graduate student development.
