Public Higher Education Workers

Staff, faculty & students learning from each other as we organize against attacks on public higher ed. We fight for fully funded, free, & liberatory campuses.

[Public Higher Education Workers @PHEWnetwork]

Do you work for a public college or university? Are you fighting for a more democratic, rank-and-file led, union on your campus? Check out PHEW's principles; if they sound like your cup of tea, DM us for details on joining our Friday afternoon calls! https://t.co/gw9JRzTqQm

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

If you are trying to fill out the FAFSA and running into problems, take your frustration out on your member of Congress.

Ask them why we even have to have a FAFSA in the first place? Ask them why they haven't supported College For All

FAFSA is hell. Make them live in it.

The repeal of this anti-labor law in Michigan is huge for us. It means we can finally organize @UMich grad student research assistants, so that as workers we can build power together & fight for better working conditions, protections & fair contracts.

Arizona workers, join us!

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

The #FringeRate- the money that comes out of every grant that comes into Rutgers, to pay for state benefits (some of which our researchers don’t even get!) is more than double or triple in NJ compared to what researchers at institutions in other states pay.

[California Faculty Association @CFA_United]

Let's go! #UnionPower ✊🏾

[Graduate Center PSC @psccunygc]

The GC chapter out here with our fellow @PSC_CUNY members and allies fighting for #APeoplesCUNY and a #NewDeal4CUNY!

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

Solidarity with our @ucanjit in bargaining and STAYING STRIKE READY! @NJIT you know #UCAN deliver a fair contract!!

[Lauren Lassabe Shepherd @llassabe]

So excited to dive into this

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

As part of RU-AAUP's commitment to academic freedom on Rutgers campuses & beyond, the Academic Freedom Committee has released a statement condemning the administration's censure of Students for Justice in Palestine. We stand for the academic freedom of all.

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

Despite facing repression in our workplaces, despite our universities & academic freedom coming under fire to score cheap points for politicians, despite our students facing administrator-encouraged harassment, @AFTunion & @rweingarten have failed to act.

We deserve better.

[Rank and File Action @RanknFileAction]

BREAKING: the PSC Delegate Assembly has just voted (117-32) to join the list of unions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. This is the floor not the ceiling but worth celebrating nonetheless! 🇵🇸✊🏽#ceasefirenow

[United Campus Workers Arizona @UCWArizona]

Seeing a lot of cuts happening to departments, not administration...

[IU on Strike @IUonStrike]

Read the letter. University administrators are starting to feel fully comfortable carrying out openly-political repression.

[Public Higher Education Workers @PHEWnetwork]

At the @labornotes conference in 2022, we had to appropriate a bigger room because so many #highered unionists showed up for our higher education session. Let's keep it up for Labor Notes 2024! Register ASAP: https://t.co/rRGCifbyhX

[Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education @SFNDHE]

PETITION
CT Gov Lamont (Dem) supports a "right sizing" public higher ed with tens millions in cuts, department mergers, and program & tutoring closures. One of wealthiest states in US, with a budget surplus. But this is entrenched austerity @HigherEdLabor

[United Academics of Philadelphia @UAPhilly]

This week, faculty of the #UArtsUnion share why they, and their students, need a #UArtsContractNOW at @UArts. Faculty won their union THREE years ago, and still don't have the protections and benefits of a contract!

[California Faculty Association @CFA_United]

It is unconscionable that Alabama is engaged in this forced labor program. This prison labor scheme affects the disproportionately Black prison population, exploiting them in a profit-making plan.

Demand an end to this practice of modern day slavery! https://t.co/ujX1VR01Yl

[Wayne Academic Union @WAU6075]

The WAU Executive Board also shares the following: Individuals who support calls for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine are invited to add their names to a resolution co-sponsored by @UAW, @ueunion, @ufcw3000 , and a growing list of unions. https://t.co/6bEgtjmBAX
