Graduate assistants at Nevada universities call for union recognition amid struggles

Manuel Holguin JR

Graduate assistants across Nevada universities are ramping up efforts to unionize, citing low pay, unsafe working conditions, and a lack of workplace protections as barriers to their success.

Sarah Fotis, assistant bakery manager at the King Soopers in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, on the first day of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local Seven strike. Fotis said she was picketing for people like her cake decorator co-worker Regina, who has been with King Soopers for more than 30 years but low wages combined with family tragedy and illness have prevented her from retiring. "I'm out here fighting for people like that," Fotis said.
