   This is amazing from a Swedish perspective. After grad students formed a #labour #union at Boston #University (privately owned, est. 1839) and striked for seven months, BU has now discontinued admissions to PhD programmes in a dozen humanities and social sciences. Including my subject, #archaeology. The two Deans in charge "referenced the new collective bargaining agreement multiple times as the source of what they called 'budgetary implications'."

     @mrundkvist 70% löneökning OCH färre som ska konkurera om jobben sen. Kommer leda till löneökningar för alla på lång sikt. Snyggt!
