I’m so proud to be a part of this team and it’s been a true joy working with all of our talented workshop leaders across the department — thank you for sharing your knowledge and kills with us!

Shout out to @hpopal_brain and @thetokenhipster for founding the Coding Outreach Group and @KatieJobson1 and @wjmitchell_ for taking on the baton this year!!! They’re wonderful organizers & are a wealth of knowledge about coding.

@wjmitchell_ Congrats, Billy! Sharing these will be invaluable for future students -- thank you!

Is there gonna be a “science side of Threads” if yes: https://t.co/jTbn25RW1O

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

Today, we reached a new Tentative Agreement with @TempleUniv. This TA reflects the incredible work of striking members over the past six weeks. It includes significant movement on all four of our core demands! Members will now vote on whether or not to ratify the TA.

do we have to say the whole thing where we asked for more than $20k to live in a city where it costs $36k to live, and temple refused to actually bargain so we went on strike and you cut our healthcare on day 9 of the strike? do we still have to say all that or

[Kim Nguyen @kvhnguyen]

A bunch of enabling cowards.

[Rep. Chris Rabb @RepRabb]

Thanks, guys!

I wish you were as kind to me *before* I could vote on an annual $150mm appropriation to Temple when I taught there for 4 years & helped organize 1,500 adjuncts to join an expanded @TAUP #union.

I did not go on strike to come out on the other side without a living wage. The country is watching @TempleUniv repeatedly devalue grad workers and underestimate what we are capable of. Trash. That is what I think of what admin is calling a “tentative agreement.”

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

Tomorrow at 2pm, @HigherEdLabor unions and public schools across the country will be walking OUT in solidarity with us and the undergrads at @TempleUniv. Cutting healthcare and tuition remission is an attack on union members and public education everywhere.

Stand Up, Fight Back

Academic twitter: I promise this is more important than any thread you'll read about a new paper or method today.

My graduate student union, TUGSA (@tugsa_6290), is now on strike at Temple University. If helping create an equitable academia is important to you, read on..

[TUGSA @TUGSA_6290]

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
