We’re starting a hardship fund for our graduate students to help mitigate strain on striking @hgsuuaw members - if you want to help the workers who do so much for us, click the link below! https://t.co/lwoiD9hcVD
We’re proud to announce the campaign to unionize non-tenure-track faculty and researchers within Harvard University—we are Harvard Academic Workers - UAW! We unite ~6000 workers across all 12 Harvard schools. 🧵
Happy May Day from HCCYDSA — to all those who labor in our classrooms, dining halls, and labs @Harvard and outwardly to the working-class of the world!
On the day their contract expires, we're here with @32BJSEIU custodial workers demanding a fair contract & that goes up at least with cost of living (2% is a pay cut!!)
Amazing to be here with custodians & great community members, from @hgsuuaw, @HUCTW, @harvardslam, & @HCYDSA
Reminder: you can contribute NOW to the Hardship Fund for our workers at https://t.co/f1bT94esEO! You’ll see it under our ‘Union Strong!’ tab right when you land on the site, where you can also sign the petition in support of our custodians at 32BJ SEIU!
Today - 1PM - Cambridge Common!
Show up in solidarity with @hgsuuaw, @32BJSEIU, @BDSA_Labor and other local union and DSA chapters as we call on Harvard one last time to negotiate in good faith. Otherwise, we will see you on the picket line! 🌹

Organized power is realized power.
Proud to stand in solidarity yesterday with @32BJSEIU and @hgsuuaw in their fight for better worker protections and a fair contract.
This is about labor justice, racial justice, immigrant justice, & economic justice.
Happy to have been able to host the likes of our elected leaders @MikeConnollyMA, Congresswoman @AyannaPressley, @qzondervan, @erika4rep and others out in solidarity with @32BJSEIU, @hgsuuaw and the plight of workers all around Harvard and Boston this afternoon. Solidarity! 🌹
It’s outrageous that Harvard is only offering a 2% “raise” to its custodians when the endowment saw a 33.6% increase last year. I’m here in solidarity with @harvardslam@32BJSEIU@HUCTW@hgsuuaw@HCYDSA@RepPressley, et al. to demand a good contract for @Harvard’s 800 custodians.
Workers on the @harvard campus are not giving up. The University made $13 billion (up 25%) on their endowment last year, but are offering workers no more than a 2% raise. @hgsuuaw@HCYDSA@32BJSEIU#Strikesgiving
Our finalized lineup for today's rally (noon @ JH statue!) is, frankly, stacked-- Harvard custodians, local organizers, union leadership from @32BJSEIU and @hgsuuaw, as well as Representative @MikeConnollyMA and Congresswoman @AyannaPressley. Fight for fair wages in <2 hrs! -WS
Tomorrow - rallying for @32BJSEIU alongside the likes of @MikeConnollyMA, @AyannaPressley, @hgsuuaw, @BDSA_Labor and local labor alike to demand the same: @Harvard - it’s time to pay your workers a living wage!
Make sure to also sign the petition at https://t.co/gJzR1xZuzU 🌹
Getting prepared for our rally for fair wages tomorrow with speakers from @32BJSEIU, @hgsuuaw and now Congresswoman @AyannaPressley! Join us at noon at the John Harvard Statue! -WS
