In Minnesota, we will not allow our kids to go hungry. I’m signing universal school meals into law – today.

Today, TUGSA members finished voting on the Tentative Agreement reached with @TempleUniv on Friday. Membership voted over 92% to REJECT the agreement with over 83% of the membership voting. As a result, the strike will continue. We are ready to bargain tomorrow.
A 🧵 (1/8)

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Graduate students at Temple University have faced retaliation for going on strike and asserting the radical notion that they should make a living wage, receive decent benefits, and get dignity on the job. I stand in strong solidarity with the workers of @TUGSA_6290.

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

Today students received an email from admin stating they “recognize the key role” TAs & RAs play in helping the university operate. Let’s see @TempleUniv recognize that via paying us a higher wage instead of hiring scabs! #TempleUnionMade #TUGSAstrike

[Councilmember Isaiah Thomas @CMThomasPHL]

While getting my Masters, I remember the feeling of wanting to change the world while also taking care of myself.

That’s what @TUGSA_6290 wants.

I’m calling on @TempleUniv to negotiate in good faith and provide adequate support to these current learners and future leaders.

"I have interacted with a student who, seeing the minimal parental leave, purposefully scheduled her C-section during school breaks. I spoke to an international student whose salary and healthcare costs forced him to send his daughter to live with her grandparents in India."

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Temple University said it will no longer cover tuition for 150 graduate students who have been on strike at the Philadelphia campus since the end of January. https://t.co/65Lhlkpffc

In a highly anti-labor industry to do something unprecedented means you have to do something really awful. This is exactly that. Solidarity to @TUGSA_6290 and all grad workers.

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

We're ready to bargain while @TempleUniv slashes healthcare and tuition remission.

The world is watching, where are you?

Appalling that Temple would retaliate against @TUGSA_6290 workers for pushing for better benefits and working conditions.

Donate to the union's strike fund if you can: https://t.co/90mqROYIMi https://t.co/ghD5hSdu3o

.@TUGSA_6290 ‘ s fight is Philadelphia's fight, labor’s fight, and our students’ fight. It’s time that graduate workers made a living wage. #TempleUnionMade

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

Without fair wages and benefits, @TempleUniv‘s programs can’t remain competitive, and that does a disservice to their students. I stand with @TUGSA_6290 in support of a fair contract. https://t.co/kXJnH3SNOw

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

I proudly stand in solidarity with @TUGSA_6290 workers on strike.

The union way of life is sacred. It’s long past time for Temple to come to the table & provide these workers with a good contract, fair pay, and better benefits.

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

Join the line! Fair contact now!

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade
