On Friday December 9, 2016, Columbia teaching and research assistants elected the Graduate Workers of Columbia-United Auto Workers (GWC-UAW) Local 2110 as their union with 1602 yes and 623 no votes. On December 22, a preliminary count for the Harvard Graduate Students Union-UAW was not conclusive, with 314 challenge ballots exceeding the margin between 1,272 yes and 1,456 no votes. Both elections were possible because the National Labor Relations Board, ruling on a suit brought by Columbia students, overturned a 2004 decision that prohibited the formation of graduate unions in private colleges and universities.

团结学术工作者：研究生工作者与联合汽车工人组织

2016年12月9日，星期五，哥伦比亚大学的教学和研究助手以1602赞成和623反对的投票结果选举了哥伦比亚联合汽车工人大学（GWC-UAW）Local 2110的研究生工人工会。12月22日，对哈佛大学研究生院工会的初步统计尚无定论，共有314项挑战投票超过了1,272票赞成和1,456票反对之间的差额。两次选举之所以可能，是因为美国国家劳资关系委员会对哥伦比亚学生提起的诉讼做出了裁决，该裁决推翻了2004年的一项决定，该决定禁止在私立高校中成立毕业生工会。
