Congrats to #Broward College contingent faculty, who just voted overwhelmingly (92%) to form their union! At 1,700 eligible faculty members, their unit becomes the largest @SEIU contingent faculty union in the country.

Sean Thomas was one of the chanters at the rowdy STLCC board of trustees meeting on November 30. Now, he has to have a meeting with a dean to discuss an allegation of "misconduct." https://t.co/0hw3IqQbEr

Its like throwing 2 faculty members a knife🔪 & keeping the 1 who wins.
“‘Essentially, a buyout means saving a job for another person,’the statement reads.”
In the same breath as they announced layoffs the @STLCC Board encouraged faculty to take buyouts.

Illinois State Sen. @danielbiss and candidate for Illinois governor met with graduate workers at Illinois State University. "Every worker deserves the right to form a union... it’s up to all of us to carry the torch of the labor movement." —Daniel Bliss

Chanc Pittmans 🕴🏻total comp is $338k yr.
His 🚗+🏡 allowance is $40k, ~2x what most adjuncts 👩🏻‍🎨👨🏾‍🏫make.
Yet #Badmin refuses modest raises for adjuncts whove not seen meaningful pay increases in yrs

Happening now: @PFACColumbia on strike at Columbia College! Students over profits!!! #highered #OurColumbia

[Daniel Biss @DanielBiss]

I know firsthand the hours of work graduate students put in every week to ensure our college function. And as workers, they deserve the right to unionize. https://t.co/0zbdAj0foJ

[SEIU Faculty Forward @FacultyForward]

The #GOPTaxScam is no deal for the American people. 13 million people will lose their #healthcare, cuts to programs like #SNAP & #HeadStart, and more terrible yet permanent changes to the tax code for middle class families all to fund large tax cuts for the 1% and corporations.

[WashU Grad Workers Union (WUGWU) @WashUGradWkrs]

No chancellor or boss or government board can give us a union. We ARE the union, and we ain't backing down. #1u #solidarityforever
