I just signed a @phlafscmedc47 petition: Fair Contract Now for Penn Libraries and Dining Service Workers. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

And we will be out on campus again today. This time with flyers! #FightFor4
Penn’s workers deserve better. Today, the community stood with Local 54 and Local 590 in their fight for fair contracts.
Dining and library workers make @UofPenn a first-class institution. It’s time Penn recognized their value—with fair wages, benefits, and working conditions!

The heat didn’t stop us from rallying with higher-ed workers across Philadelphia yesterday!
Proud of the organizing work @afscmedc47 and so many unions are doing to build power for workers at these critical institutions 💪🏼❤

"My colleagues, many of whom are like me, foreign scientists, are terrified of being detained or having their visa status revoked."

What do @AFSCME workers do when they stand together in a #union? THEY FIGHT BACK FOR WORKING PEOPLE!!
Today, AFSCME members Stephanie Teachman and Jeanne Weaver stood up for their communities on Capitol Hill and lobbied their members of Congress to say #NoCutsToMedicaid! Join them by taking action. Call your Representative at 202-559-1165

“We love doing research and we love making discoveries, and we think that we deserve treatment and pay and benefits that reflect the passion that we put into our projects and our research and the results that we get out of them.” @GETUPgrads @UAWregion9

Contingent academic workers at Cornell are organizing! Come for the drive towards wall-to-wall unionism at Cornell, stay for the bird pun and photorealistic bear in the logo. Share the link/info below with your favorite postdoc, adjunct, librarian, or other non-union CU worker ⬇️

Hear from @UAW President Shawn Fain why thousands of UAW members across the country are taking action to kill the Trump administration’s cuts to lifesaving research, healthcare, and education.
The fight is far from over — find more information at killthecuts.org.

"Wellesley College broadly presents itself as a progressive institution committed to feminist and social justice values. Its approach to bargaining a first contract with its non-tenure-track faculty, however, tells a different story."

Every grad worker should feel accommodated and supported at Penn. Grad workers: sign our petition demanding Penn admin include strong anti-discrimination & anti-harassment clauses in our contract at tinyurl.com/GETUP-discrim
ALT Title: Fair Contract Now! Image of a grad worker, caption: Sam Samore, PhD Candidate, English Quote: I need gender neutral bathrooms. As a transgender person, I have had negative experiences in single sex bathrooms. Because gender neutral bathrooms are unevenly distributed at Penn, I often have to go far out of my way to use one, including while I’m teaching. It’s inconvenient and humiliating.

🧵 Statement from UAW President Shawn Fain on Attacks on Federal Workers:
Yesterday, President Trump signed an order that tramples on the union rights of more than a million federal workers, stripping them of their ability to negotiate over their working conditions.
