We voted YES to authorize a strike by a whopping 91.5%! Columbia won’t budge on protecting student workers from an authoritarian takeover and a cost-of-living crisis—it’s time to turn up the pressure.

SWC just opened a Strike Authorization Vote (SAV)! After almost a year of bargaining, it’s clear that Columbia won’t budge on core workplace issues unless we withhold our labor through a strike—we’re ready to ramp up the pressure!🧵

The conference will be hybrid (in-person and on zoom) and we especially encourage scholars from the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa to apply, and, if possible, to attend in person. Unfortunately, we will not be able to support with funding for travel or accommodation.
