In January of 2022, in the midst of a cold New Hampshire winter and an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, student dining services workers unanimously formed their first ever undergraduate student worker union at Dartmouth College. The Student Worker Collective of Dartmouth (SWCD) won sick pay for all workers and 50 percent hazard pay for those working during the pandemic.

Just a year later the independent union, which now represents an additional 100 undergraduate advisors (UGAs), were able to force significant concessions from the college in their first contract, including a $21 an hour base wage ($3 more than what the college was offering and $8 more than the minimum that workers were earning before), with increases linked to the cost of tuition.
