Lawyers enforce 1) laws and 2) Union contracts.
Do what you can but be realistic about it.
Unions also help with internal university issues like better stipends, healthcare, and work conditions - things that matter regardless of federal fundng cuts.
Yeah Union contract. Stipends, healthcare, etc also rely mostly on funding. Work conditions like equipment, AC, lots of that is funding too.
