grad student unionizing

[Frances Bolton (PHI)]

Has anyone (Tom L., Dennis?) come across any *credible* arguments against
grad student unionizing? I am supposed to be chairing a panel on grad
student unions next month at the AHA (Amer. Hist. Assoc--I'm there as the
Token Woman) and my role is to give good & compelling reasons as to why
grad sudents shouldn't organize. My initial strategy was going to be to
talk about the prob. of being in a union that is affiliated with the
faculty--but I want to try to avoid talking about my own union since
another panelist is also a member of it. I do not consider the "grad
students are not really employees" argument credible.  Maybe if I do
something on adjuncts? Any ideas? Anyone I could read that might inspire
me?
