Thanks to all you Marxists! You have achieved what you set out to do. Now let us see what will happen.
According to The Tech at MIT:
MIT graduate students voted to unionize with the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE), Chancellor Melissa Nobles and Vice Chancellor Ian Waitz announced in an email to the MIT community April 6. 75% of 3,823 eligible graduate students voted, with 1,785 students (66%) voting in favor of unionization and 912 students (34%) voting against, according to results announced by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Elections were held on April 4–5 in Walker Memorial’s Morss Hall. The MIT Graduate Student Union (GSU), the primary campaign organizers behind the path to unionization, also announced the win on Twitter. They noted that the “historic victory for student-workers at MIT” was by a “landslide margin” and officially renamed themselves as “MIT GSU-UE.” The GSU attached a photo of their first meeting four years ago where “a dozen students in an MIT classroom” were “discussing the needs of graduate workers.”
Read carefully the last quoted words. You are now "workers", not students, not researchers, not whatever! You are now both watched by the Dean Commissars and controlled by the Committee of Soviets! You have lost your individuality, a construct dating back to 1328 and William of Ockham and personified in the founding of the United States.
One should remember the phrase: "workers of the world unite". Well a union for MIT Grad students has created a common group of workers. Beware, you will reap what you have sown.
