DeLauro Celebrates Local 33 Union Election Win

NEW HAVEN, CT – Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) today released a statement in response to news that Yale University’s Local 33 union won a National Labor Relations Board election in support of forming a union for graduate teachers and researchers.

“When workers are allowed to form unions, it gives workers a voice, improves benefits, and critically, leads to higher wages,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. “This has been a decades-long fight for a union for Yale’s graduate students, teachers, workers, and researchers. I am so thrilled that Local 33 voted overwhelmingly to form a union at Yale University. I am proud to have been fighting alongside organizers in this effort since 1991 and commend those workers whose overwhelming support in this election has made the formation of this union real. Congratulations!”
