Harvard works because we do!
🎉 Today is the 36th anniversary of the day 3,500 Harvard staff voted to form our union, HUCTW. Today we are over 5,500 members strong—in every school, department, and corner of the campus—carrying out essential work towards Harvard’s mission. Harvard works because we do!
✊🌹 HUCTW stands behind the resident tutors, proctors, and house aides in their efforts to organize a new union, @HarvardResUnion ❤️ All unions at Harvard will be stronger if we continue to build our collective power by supporting one another!
Our first of two union elections wrapped up tonight, and Harvard Law School clinicians voted overwhelmingly in favor of certifying our union: 95%. Next step: winning improvements to working conditions at HLS!
#ItsBetterInAUnion for more than just salary. When we empower more women to form and join unions, we advance pay equity, salary transparency, benefits, leadership growth & so much more in the workplace & beyond. #EqualPayDay
