SA introduces bill advocating for on-campus unionizing efforts
April 18, 2024 // Leaders of Syracuse University’s Student Association have developed a bill establishing the assembly’s support of on-campus unionization efforts, SA President William Treloar announced during its Monday meeting. The bill, titled “Supporting Student Unions,” intends to put SA’s commitment to all unionizing groups on campus into writing. The association plans to vote on the bill during its next general assembly meeting on Monday, April 22. Throughout the meeting, Treloar emphasized the importance of the presence of student workers unions on campus, citing efforts for improving wages, working conditions and contractual benefits. “There have been massive unionization efforts across campus recently that really started with graduate students,” Treloar said. “This effort has been taken over by several different groups of students looking for better working conditions.”
