For a Better Harvard

Harvard student workers fighting for equity, affordable health care access, and protection from harassment and discrimination through a union contract.

ICE is rescinding its rule that threatens to deport international students, a day after we filed our lawsuit.

This is why we sue. The rule was illegal and the Trump Administration knew they didn’t have a chance.

They may try this again. We will be ready.

“Our labor sustains universities’ educational mission. Now it’s time for universities to sustain us.” Hear from @nadirah about what the University owes students in times of COVID-19. #HarvardWorksBecauseWeDo

Today, the university announced that it would be guaranteeing pay for *all graduate student workers at Harvard* through the end of the Spring 2020 semester: 1/n

[Harvard Grad Students Union-UAW Local 5118 @hgsuuaw]

We are glad to see that the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the Harvard Graduate School of Education have agreed to pay student workers for the remainder of the spring semester. Our union calls on all Harvard schools to do the same.

And here’s @Sej_Singh, Harvard law student and organizer-extrordinaire, on why the Dominguez case proves that we need to stop asking Harvard to do the right thing and start BUILDING POWER.

And the best way to build power on campus? With a union! @hgsu_uaw 💪✊🌹

Great way to start off the first day of spring semester. Thank you to Prof. Walter Johnson for being an ally in our fight for a fair contract! We’re still here and still fighting, @Harvard. A little winter break isn’t going to break @hgsuuaw! https://t.co/QY0ddPkYyB

Harvard University, which has a $41 billion endowment, admits that many students & student workers here are food insecure. But instead of agreeing to fair compensation in a union contract, they're offering discounted muffins. Shameful. #TimesUpHarvard #ContractNow
