@MassGovernor
Governor Healey, don’t talk about equity.  UMass faculty salaries avg.  $116,500/yr but your OER maintains a racist & classist system keeping our salaries at $68,234/yr.  Do the math!  #fairpaymccc.

[Margaret Wong @MwongMCCC]

@maura_healey Governor Healey, here’s one challenge you can fix right now.  Tell A&F to give the MCCC the 8% you offered to other public higher ed workers.  We won’t have the teachers and staff available for the students who enroll through MassReconnect if you don’t. #fairpaymccc

[Margaret Wong @MwongMCCC]

@maura_healey Thanks. Please remember that most of our faculty/staff are women and many are single parents who can’t make ends meet on our paltry salaries. Help us teach the women leaders of tomorrow. Give us the 8% offer you gave to other higher education workers now.

@Starbucks Your drinks would taste better if you let your branches unionize.

NEW: Amazon hired a top Democratic firm, Global Strategy Group, to help bust the union drive by @AmazonLabor. They failed.

Today, GSG disavowed their work for Amazon: "We deeply regret being involved in any way"

@GSG desperately wants this scandal to go away. But it's not. 🧵

St. Vincent Nurses ratified their contract. Congratulations @MassNurses! https://t.co/GJT4WvAHk9

I have never felt so undervalued and insulted as an educator until today by the lack of precautionary measures when we return to school tomorrow with Omicron cases on the rise.

I mean we have always been undervalued and insulted, but this is just a new low.

Love and empathy lay the foundation to educate students, but it's knowledge and skills that enable educators to provide the resources and instruction students need for academic success.

Show your support for striking St. Vincent nurses this Saturday, Sept. 25, at 2 p.m. in Worcester. These @massnurses are at @SaintVincentMA on strike for safe patient care against greedy @tenethealth.

"While [California Charter School Association] Advocates spent much of its billionaire-donated money directly, it also "funneled dollars" to astroturf groups like the Parent Teacher Alliance, a pro-charter organization."
