Push for graduate student union becomes a privacy issue | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Vanderbilt University is facing a dispute with graduate students seeking to unionize under the United Auto Workers, which filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board. Vanderbilt argues that graduate students are not employees under the National Labor Relations Act, claiming unionization would disrupt student-faculty relationships. The case raises privacy concerns, as the NLRB issued subpoenas for student information, conflicting with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) that protects student data. More than 80 students objected to releasing their information, prompting legal representation from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. Graduate students seek improved wages and benefits.
