UVM and grad student union continue legal clash over union size
February 26, 2025 // The latest twist in the legal battle came Friday, when the Vermont Supreme Court reversed a ruling by the Vermont Labor Relations Board that affirmed the rights of predoctoral fellows and predoctoral trainees at UVM to join Graduate Students United. Predoctoral fellows and trainees are graduate students who often teach and perform research for the university, but receive outside financial support for their work, usually through grants and stipends. They represent almost one-tenth of the 600 member union.
