My bald ass head out on the line this morning, at the UES picket of a Rutgers Board of Governors' member. #RUOnStrike

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

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!

[Andrew Urban @AndyTUrban]

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

[Andrew Urban @AndyTUrban]

On the picket line! #RUOnStrike #WeROnStrike @ruaaup @ruaaup_ptl @Cevasco_Carla @schanmalik @HelenaHaimes

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

It seems that email Holloway sent students isn’t exactly having the desired effect… https://t.co/ohcJEUP97I

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

Good morning @RutgersU, we are 263 days without a contract, and we have a message for you if you're driving into the College Ave campus – #FairContractNow

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

🧵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

@davidjmadden I read as: "Nothing really mattress, anyone can sleep," channeling Queen.

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...

[Todd Wolfson @ProfTWolf]

.@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

[Andrew Urban @AndyTUrban]

@ChrisSpalton - I feel like there are some shared interests here.

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

➡️ 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!

[Abolish ICE NY-NJ @abolishICE_nynj]

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.
