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

.@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

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.

"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?
