a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advice to them: it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.
Unions are the simple act of people deciding to stick together. Unions give people the power to achieve things they would not be able to achieve alone.
what are the best stories behind a local union's *number*? alternatively, how the hell are these things numbered?
