Over a thousand food service and library student workers at Syracuse University won their union with over 99% voting Union Yes! In landslide -- only one worker voted no! They're joining 800 facilities and 1100 grad student workers in SEIU 200United. #UnionsForAll

[SEIU Local 509 @SEIU509]

From teaching to research, @gradworkersofBU's contributions keep @BU_tweets running, yet workers continue to be overworked and underpaid. Their stories are not just about labor; they're about justice, dignity, and a better future for all. #BUGWUOnStrike

"Black graduate employees are less likely to have the social safety nets associated with access to generational wealth... financial hardship brings on declining classroom performance, the need for a second source of income or ultimately a withdrawal from their academic program."

Today, the graduate workers of Syracuse University, are launching our public campaign to win a graduate worker union. We are fighting to win collective bargaining rights through a union for higher stipends, better healthcare and benefits, and increased worker protections!

[Syracuse Graduate Employees United @SyracuseGEU]

International graduate students make up a large portion of graduate workers at SU. What do you think we could win with a recognized union?

What do you imagine we can win with a recognized union at SU? Looking to other universities with graduate employee unions can give us an idea! (1/3)

Last week, a few graduate workers from SU went up to Boston to support Boston University graduate workers to GOTV for their union election. BUGWU won in a historic vote last week. Huge congrats and shout out to all the workers at BU who made this happen. When we fight, we win!
