We are deeply sad to learn of the death of Elizabeth Freeman, author or editor of many books & journal issues with us, and former editor of GLQ.

Good News for Union Members—Union members saw record raises over the past year, but pay for nonunion workers barely beat inflation
Wages of private-sector union members rose 6.3% over past year, the biggest jump since 2001—Nonunion workers saw a 4.1% bump

The UC of DUPWU unequivocally condemns the violent behavior of law enforcement towards Sami Schalk, and towards all students and faculty who have set up encampments to demand that their universities divest from Israel. (1/2)
Many of us at DUP have worked with Sami personally and are thus deeply disturbed by the violence she and too many have endured at the hands of police. From UW, to UCLA, to UNC, to Columbia, and to all other encampments, we stand in solidarity with the protesters. (2/3)
The National Labor Relations Board has certified the results of the election in which Volkswagen Chattanooga employees voted for representation by the United Auto Workers.

Y’all brought incredible testimony, pride and positive energy to the People’s Solidarity Hub for our Worker Speak-Out. THANK YOU. There is nothing more inspiring and rejuvenating than when we share space with one another and lift each other up!! #1u

Similarly, publishing workers at @hcpunion, @oupusaguild, and @DUPWorkersUnion are also negotiating contracts–we hope that together we can raise the bar for workers in publishing and for workers in general.
BREAKING: We ratified our contract yesterday, @newsguild's first in book publishing, 16 months since we first sat down at the table. We’re proud of what we accomplished as a union, which would have been unthinkable without the support of our authors and readers🧵
It's funny how when you demand 40k and end to parking fees and then organize your coworkers around the demand, your boss caves in! Pressure works -- we can't stop now. Let's demand MORE at our rally tomorrow for a seat at the table. See y'all at 11 AM.
