I can now see the importance of a Union in Colleges. The Intern. This is an unpaid laborer, a student perhaps, who is providing a valuable service such as grading exams, tutoring students, do research work, editing papers, etc. They are told that this unpaid labor will benefit them in the long run. In actuality the institution benefits and no one ever remembers the indentured servitude. The very need of a union. Remember Harvard now pays PhD students $50,000 per year and God knows what that means per hour.
When I was an undergrad, Junior and Senior years I was a Lab instructor and paid. As a Grad student I was an Instructor, paid and no tuition. In today's world, this invention of "the intern" is merely a way for the institution to get free labor. "Workers of the world arise!"
