Episode description

Undergraduates at the University of Oregon have organized student workers - a first in the country at a public institution. The union represents a number of positions, including resident assistants, dining hall workers and other undergraduate positions. Mae Bracelin is a second-year political science student at the University of Oregon. Noah Thompson is a fifth year political science major. They are both organizers with the UO Student Workers union and join us to discuss working conditions they are facing, changes they want in the workplace and what it means to be the first undergraduate workers union.
