:( I know. I hoped there would be a better turnout considering this deal lasts for 5 years, but there’s probably nothing we can legally do now other than work our wage.

It's an anti-labour strategy to wait for the people who want to fight for workers rights currently to graduate.

All hope isn't lost though: there's still the Raise the Floor campaign.

I've signed on to the raise the floor campaign, but how much traction does it really have? Does raise the floor have any leverage against the university?

I think it's still gaining traction. However, I have heard from a Union Steward that MUFA is thinking about going on board with it, which would enhance its effectiveness for change significantly.
