We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

I spent this summer working alongside some of the most talented journalists I have ever met from @ThePUPNews. My newest story is a celebration of their work and an ode to the future they're fighting for: https://t.co/Yl9Hy71pVG

You'll see stories in both the PG and the Trib today about this very same issue. But neither of those stories links to or mentions where the original reporting came from.

This is the outlet/reporter who did the hard work.

Dear New Faculty Hires - We are excited you’ll be joining us soon! Lesson #1 of academic life, you start working now, you won’t get paid until the end of September - and that’s if you are lucky and we don’t screw anything up in Workday.

Scribes got tired of writing out “Los Angeles”

When I was Chair, I had to review the student evaluations for undergrad courses taught by PhD candidates. Some of the students’ comments were so offensive, I began telling Instructors not to read their evaluations. No employer gets to require you to read anonymous insults.

Important to note that this whole thing started as an explicit union avoidance strategy. A labor activist's worst fears + public health disaster.

When thinking what American soccer should look like, I think something like this at the Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh tonight. A game between teams from different leagues. One called Riverhounds. One called Crew. At a stadium with character.

I feel a deep sense of grievance.

@PennEnvironment @ThePUPNews All I had to do was walk outside yesterday and smell the air to know that there’s a long way to go on this.

Would be a shame if Congress started investigating billionaire team owners that play in publicly subsidized stadiums, enjoy antitrust exemptions, and pocket $$$$ without even pretending to want to win…

It's official. Starting in 2025, students at @UofAlabama will be able to graduate without a single college course I literature, history, or a foreign language. The gutting of the liberal arts continues. https://t.co/zui6htzSHF
