My bald ass head out on the line this morning, at the UES picket of a Rutgers Board of Governors' member. #RUOnStrike
We sent a wake-up call to the Park Ave home of one of Board of Governors today that they need to agree to a fair contract now FOR ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY!

This may have been the best moment I have ever been part of at Rutgers. 1,000+ picketers descending onto Vorhees Mall after closing down George Street and marching through New Brunswick. If you missed out, we are going to do it again today! #RUOnStrike @ruaaup

ICYMI, here is our leadership's response to Holloway's misleading email to the Rutgers community on Tuesday afternoon. In the words of MLK: "We aren’t going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on." @ruaaup_ptl Read more here: https://t.co/rwHzSlNZoU

🧵GM @RutgersU. We are 250 days w/o a contract. Last night Holloway sent an email claiming his Christie-inherited mngmt has been bargaining in good faith by meeting w/RU unions over 100 times. His only evidence–an offer of 10% "raises" over 4 yrs-when inflation is 8% THIS YEAR

https://t.co/Yv29PfpddD Having just spent the last two hours talking to members on behalf of @ruaaup about a strike, I can say that while @rkgwork is right that we don't want to strike, management would be foolish to think we are not ready to...

The move could virtually shut down New Jersey's flagship public university, which has campuses in New Brunswick, Camden and Newark.

.@RutgersU. Yesterday leadership of @ruaaup voted to begin a strike vote on 2/28. Keep offering 2% raises, denying adjuncts & grads a living wage, keep denying security for staff & NTTs and a rent freeze for students & community. The strike wave is coming. @ruaaup_ptl @NewLabor

➡️ Today's must-read from the @daily_targum: @RutgersU's priorities R all mixed up! Students paying high housing costs have been w/o heat or hot water, or functioning plumbing while athletics spending soars! https://t.co/KJzosKXg8a

The only thing Rutgers football loses more than sports games is money. Since joining the Big Ten Conference back in 2014, the University’s athletic department has accumulated $265 million in debt,...

extremely concerning update from New Jersey: CoreCivic seeks to overturn the will of the people & even of its landlord, in order to keep the ICE $$ flowing as they profit from keeping people in cages.
here it comes: the carceral ghouls of @CoreCivic filed suit against New Jersey over our law designed to prevent them from renewing their contract for the Elizabeth Detention Center. no better time to join @PaxChristiNJ vigil Wed. (& thx to Kathy O'Leary there for this update)

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Graduate workers at the University of Minnesota are signing cards in support of unionizing because we know we are stronger together–and that the U works because WE do! Learn more at https://t.co/96X0sG5aMI

"Predicting “deficit budgets on the horizon” turns out to be a time-honored practice at @RutgersU. President Holloway’s warnings about deficit budgets aren’t motivated by financial good sense. They're a scare tactic" @ruaaup @ruaaup_ptl @union1766 @AFTNJ

Is Rutgers really in such dire financial shape when the administration shells out millions for an athletics program that has lost a quarter billion dollars in the past four years?
