Shout out to the @NewsGuild! They are celebrating a milestone — more than 90 first contracts won in the last three years!

Congratulations to our newest members, dedicated organizers, and skilled negotiators!

The first collective bargaining agreement between DUP and the DUP Workers Union has been ratified and signed by all parties! A huge milestone worth celebrating!

Happy Pride!

[Duke University Press @DukePress]

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.

NC has long been hostile to unions, but labor may be on the rise | Opinion https://t.co/xqbihhZ130

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

We condemn all violence against students and faculty, and reaffirm our parent union @CWAUnion's call for a ceasefire in Gaza. (3/3)

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

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)

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

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)

Hello from the newly elected DUPWU unit council! As one of our first priorities, we’ve reactivated our Twitter. Follow for more updates!

[Durham Workers' Rights Commission @WorkersRightsNC]

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

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

Thank you @WorkersRightsNC for hosting an amazing speak-out last night to learn from and build solidarity with other workers in the area! ✊#OrganizeTheSouth #UnionsForAll #UnionizeUP

Duke University Press in North Carolina officially unionized!

"Who’s got the power?
They've got the power!
What kind of power?
Union power!"

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

Dear Colleagues,

Today, we are announcing a union drive to win a collectively bargained contract for all Ph.D. students.

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

Feeling excited & inspired for our first contract and all the work being done by our comrades in the industry! ✊

[Verso Books Guild US @VersoBooksGuild]

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.

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

Huge congrats to @VersoBooksGuild on ratifying their first contract! Organizing gets the goods 🙌

[Verso Books Guild US @VersoBooksGuild]

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🧵

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

Come support @dukegradunion at tomorrow’s rally!

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

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.
