Abstract	This newsletter theme issue focuses on unionization of graduate student assistants at institutions of higher education. The first article, "Graduate Assistants and Unionization" by Frank R. Annunziato, points out that more than 21,000 graduate student assistants at public sector colleges/universities are represented by unions in eight states. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) repeatedly ruled in the 1970s that graduate employees at private institutions are not eligible for coverage under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). In order for graduate assistants at private colleges to organize unions, the Federal Courts would have to overturn the NLRB, Congress would have to amend the NLRA to include graduate assistants as employees protected by the statute, or graduate assistants could seek voluntary recognition from their college and university administrations. The second article in the issue, "Making It Work: Scholarship, Employment and Power in the Academy" by Michele Janette and Tamara Joseph, describes efforts of graduate assistants in forming the Graduate Employees Student Organization (GESO) and attempting to win voluntary recognition from the Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut) administration. The GESO experience is offered as an imperfect but successful model for academic activism which has brought about changes in the material conditions of members' lives and in the self-conception of the university community.
