Please support our union siblings @UAPhilly and colleagues after the inexcusable and still-unexplained closure of the University of the Arts. An injury to one is an injury to all - we urge you to share and give what you can. https://t.co/cNWqDTZRib

Today 300 graduate workers visited Chancellor Gabel’s office to tell her that a strong majority of us have signed union cards. Tomorrow we'll file with the state labor board for our union vote! (Photo credit: @cineformosa)

...union, @TUGSA_6290 , that understands how power works, that doesn't just throw up its hands and say welp, the budget shrank as some inviolable cycle of nature, guess we gotta agree to cuts. Fighting austerity IS fighting corporate power

shows how the "budget crisis" at Temple U is not a thing that fell out of the sky, but the product of gradual corporatization of the university. All of this has a history, & none of it was inevitable. Grateful that I have a union, @taup, with its sister.. https://t.co/hbXt9v3C0l

Almost nothing on campus is off limits to private equity.

Tomorrow!
Our union siblings @taup - the union for faculty, librarians, and academic professionals - deserve a fair contract as they continue negotiations with the university. Let’s make sure Temple hears TAUP’s message loud and clear: equity, dignity & job security now! See you there!

Today, we rallied to celebrate signing over 2700 union authorization cards which demonstrate supermajority support for GET-UP, and announce our plan to file for a union election. Over 600 of us signed a letter asking Penn to remain neutral and respect our right to form a union…

In February, Temple University's grad workers said "enough" to disrespect, low pay & unfair working conditions. By standing together with AFT & AAUP, they secured a historic contract to better lives of workers & students alike. @TUGSA_6290 #TempleUnionMade

The agreement at Temple University ends a six-week-long walkout of teaching and research assistants that drew headlines when the public university withheld some benefits for striking workers.

Before striking in February, @TUGSA_6290 members made $19,500 a year for teaching labs, grading, and keeping Temple running. By standing together with AFT & AAUP, they made historic gains. That’s the power of affiliation.
"Temple ain't walking its walk. It should not take a strike to make you come to the table and treat people fairly." - @rweingarten It's time for Temple to negotiate a fair contract with @TUGSA_6290. #TempleUnionMade

We know what it’s like when grad healthcare is messed with in service of an anti-worker agenda. Help out our friends across the state and let their administration know we stand with Pitt GWOC! Two ways to do so. The first is to take part in today’s phone blast below. And…
