I am a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. I started organizing in the union in Summer 2023 during the membership card drive and the union recognition election. In December 2023, I was elected to the Bargaining Committee as a representative from Region 4. Together we all graduate workers fought for our rights, fostered worker-led organizing, built our strike power, and won a strong first contract. Since April, I am helping grads enforce the contract as an interim steward and a member of the Interim Grievance Committee. As international students, we currently face vulnerable situations due to the fear of losing funding or our legal status. International workers have been at the forefront of our union, and we all stand united. Our strength lies in continued collective efforts. The Fight Together 4 CGSU slate will pursue militant fights, build worker-to-worker organizing, establish strong steward structures, and a thriving member-run union. Rank-and-file control and Member-run unionism is the basis of collective action. It defined our contract fight and will be a bedrock to contract enforcement, building a strong local, and engaging in worker solidarity and actions. As an at-large delegate, I will represent our member’s priorities and interests at the national and regional conventions, and build solidarity and union power. For international worker rights, rights of minorities, and in defence of science and academic freedoms, we all will fight together with workers both at Cornell and nationally.
