AU Community! @MayaCederlund and I are continuing @TheEagleOnline coverage of unions for our upcoming print edition. Looking to speak to members of staff, adjunct and grad student unions about their experiences, and how working for AU has impacted their lives. My DMs are open!

[Aubrey @zzelectricsheep]

If you are so pleased then why are you out here screaming at the top of your lungs on a holiday weekend instead of giving AU staff 1 hour of release time to learn about the contract so they CAN ratify it? Someone can't kick the petty and controlling habit they've formed ... 👀

[Aubrey @zzelectricsheep]

Look ma we did a thing! (The real heros are also all of our colleagues who had the guts and heart to organize and take a risk and fight for each other until we won.) Solidarity forever y'all!

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Ahead of #LaborDay, our #MD08 Local Heroes are Sam Sadow & Aubrey Hill of American University, who successfully organized w/ @SEIULocal500 a great contract. Let’s celebrate all the organized workplaces & labor wins—from the minimum wage to the weekend!

Leila Hernandez is an @AmericanU educator who makes $37,856. That is NOT a living wage. That is NOT pay equity. I stand in solidarity with the AU Staff Union @austaffunion ✊🏾 #AStrikeReadyU #AUChangeCantWait
