Over the past three decades, the U.S. academic workforce is steadily relying more on part-time and full-time non-tenure track faculty, as well as graduate student workers with independent teaching responsibilities, according to report from AAUP.

"Generations of grad workers have organized before us. and I'm really excited to finally win," said one graduate student in the university's physics department.
