Temple is a campus in crisis. Jason Wingard is the wrong choice to fix it.

A bitter strike and safety protests are symptoms of an existential crisis at Temple. Its president's corporate rescue strategy isn't the best way out.

Today, TUGSA members finished voting on the Tentative Agreement reached with @TempleUniv on Friday. Membership voted over 92% to REJECT the agreement with over 83% of the membership voting. As a result, the strike will continue. We are ready to bargain tomorrow. A 🧵 (1/8)

Graduate students at Temple University have faced retaliation for going on strike and asserting the radical notion that they should make a living wage, receive decent benefits, and get dignity on the job. I stand in strong solidarity with the workers of @TUGSA_6290.

Today students received an email from admin stating they “recognize the key role” TAs & RAs play in helping the university operate. Let’s see @TempleUniv recognize that via paying us a higher wage instead of hiring scabs! #TempleUnionMade #TUGSAstrike
An informational post which reads: “Some deans at Temple are offering scabs $23k to take striker’s classes. That’s more than some TAs make in an entire year.” followed by the TUGSA and AFT logo.

While getting my Masters, I remember the feeling of wanting to change the world while also taking care of myself. That’s what @TUGSA_6290 wants. I’m calling on @TempleUniv to negotiate in good faith and provide adequate support to these current learners and future leaders.

"I have interacted with a student who, seeing the minimal parental leave, purposefully scheduled her C-section during school breaks. I spoke to an international student whose salary and healthcare costs forced him to send his daughter to live with her grandparents in India."

In a highly anti-labor industry to do something unprecedented means you have to do something really awful. This is exactly that. Solidarity to @TUGSA_6290 and all grad workers.

Appalling that Temple would retaliate against @TUGSA_6290 workers for pushing for better benefits and working conditions. Donate to the union's strike fund if you can: tugsa.betterworld.org/campai… xitter.cf/mings_ga/status/162332…

.@TUGSA_6290 ‘ s fight is Philadelphia's fight, labor’s fight, and our students’ fight. It’s time that graduate workers made a living wage. #TempleUnionMade

Temple University TAs and RAs are on Strike

The administration at Temple University is telling TAs and RAs that "you’re not a core function of the university” and refusing to bargain in good faith for over a year.

Without fair wages and benefits, @TempleUniv‘s programs can’t remain competitive, and that does a disservice to their students. I stand with @TUGSA_6290 in support of a fair contract. inquirer.com/news/temple-uni…

With negotiations at a stalemate, Temple graduate students go on strike

The two sides remain far apart on pay, health care coverage for dependents and paid parental leave time. Pickets are scheduled to go up Tuesday morning with a rally planned for the afternoon.

I proudly stand in solidarity with @TUGSA_6290 workers on strike. The union way of life is sacred. It’s long past time for Temple to come to the table & provide these workers with a good contract, fair pay, and better benefits.

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade

Minnesota Senate votes to guarantee abortion rights, sends bill to governor

The bill would also extend the right to reproductive health options such as birth control and family planning and would bar local governments from enacting policies that infringe on those rights.
