There’s no clear path to replacing UAW. They somehow got in control of union representation for the entire UC system.
The US is a closed shop country, so it is illegal for students to simply cancel their membership in UAW and join a graduate student workers union.
I’m not familiar enough with labor law to know the exact proceedue, but presumably students would need to mount a state-wide campaign to vote UAW out (if it is even possible).
Even then, I don’t know if campuses would be allowed to negotiate separately or not.
