Following months of surveys, research and internal debate, the Stanford Graduate Workers Union (SGWU) has released its proposed economic platform, centering around “an immediate and substantial pay raise for all graduate workers.”From April 25 to May 15, all cardholding Union members will be able to vote on whether to accept or reject the platform. Assuming a simple majority of votes affirm the platform, it will serve as the foundation for negotiations between SGWU and the University.
