Vanderbilt still has a lot of work to do, especially for Peabody. That’s why I signed an authorization card for @VandyGradUnion!

My new article for @astrobites is up! Please consider signing the Tufts University Graduate Workers Union's petition in support of their proposed contract which would provide graduate assistants with a much needed living wage, among other things! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
From Lucas Brown (@lucasb413): Tufts University graduate workers receive some of the lowest pay among top 50 universities when adjusted against cost of living. This year they are fighting for a new contact that is fair and just.

Happy May Day! Doesn’t matter where you are - the institution will never love you back 😘 Solidarity with workers everywhere!
ALT Top reads, “the labor movement! The folks that brought you…” and the middle is filled with cartoon people holding signs that say things like “unemployment insurance”, “workers comp”, “minimum wage.” The bottom has the following quote by Frederick Douglass: “power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”

Our month-long strike was covered by @democracynow this morning! Like working people up and down the country, we're facing a cost of living squeeze while bosses like @UMichPrezOno rake in millions. We're proud to be fighting back against this inequality!

Yesterday, we took the next step towards a fair contract: the NLRB certified our election victory, establishing GOLD-UE as a federally recognized labor union, with which the College is compelled to bargain.
WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN!

This wave of grad student unionization is so exciting to see. A generation of grads are going to go out into the world having experienced the benefits of unionization and with the know-how to make it happen.
I'm hopeful great things will come from this!
