Columbia University has filed objections with the National Labor Relations Board to a recent on-campus union election in an attempt to block labor organizing efforts by its graduate teaching and research assistants.

The election was a direct result of a landmark NLRB ruling from Aug. 23 that declared graduate assistants to be statutory employees under the National Labor Relations Act, thus giving them the power to unionize.
