United Campus Workers is winning victories across campuses in Southern right-to-work states. In this 'Why I Joined
@UCWVA
', UCW UVA member Cecelia shares how our wall to wall structure makes us strong enough to win better workplaces at UVA by uniting workers across classification
Captions: "Hi, I'm Cecelia Parks and I'm a staff member at the UVA library. I joined
@UCWVA
because I believe that UVA is a better place to work and learn when all workers are treated well, compensated fairly, and have a safe workplace.
That's not going to happen unless we push for it. And
@UCWVA
's wall to wall model gives me a way to meet workers across units, and job classifications to work together towards those goals.
I also joined
@UCWVA
, because I believe that we can win. Workers have run successful campaigns that won meaningful victories at UVA and across the south and other "right to work" states. And I'm excited to build on that legacy with
@UCWVA
."
