Good morning. It’s a very rainy fifth week.

University of Chicago Labor Council, a newly formed umbrella organization of unions at UChicago, led a May Day March yesterday to advocate for workers’ rights and urge administrators to recognize Graduate Students United.

More than 200 demonstrators participated in the march, making it one of the highest-attended GSU protests in recent memory.
Jeanette Taylor, the 20th Ward alderman-elect, spoke at the demonstration.
