I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.
The energy was wild today at the picket - 100s of grad workers over 9 hours. Thanks to everyone who came out. It is clear that MIT grad workers will fight for what we need. We make this institute run and deserve higher wages, better benefits, real recourse, and union shop!!!
This text is the biggest Green New Deal win in US history:
The #BuildPublicRenewables Act, now in the NY State Budget
Through four years of organizing across the state by thousands of @DemSocialists, @publicpowerny and more.
A better world is possible. And we are building it.
The MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, after winning a trifecta by 321 votes, have embarked on a whirlwind tour:
-legal marijuana
-lead remediation

Thanks to @mapofmyself for shouting out striking grad workers at today’s @umichgradschool commencement!
Grads are more united than ever in our fight for affordability and dignity. @UMichPrezOno, are you listening?
University of Minnesota graduate student workers (@umnglu) announce they have won their union election. It was the sixth attempt to unionize grad students since 1974
4 different unions - including UE - have lost elections in this unit over the past three decades. In every loss, the downfall was lack of support in STEM departments. Today, STEM grad workers are leading the way at UMN and across the country. Upsurge baby!
BREAKING: new video shows cannabis Teamster workers at RISE dispensary in Joliet IL walking out at 4:20 pm yesterday to begin their Unfair Labor Practice strike.
