I joined my union siblings on Penn campus to encourage people to sign, then I signed a @phlafscmedc47 petition: Fair Contract Now for Penn Libraries and Dining Service Workers. Sign here: https://t.co/H2vKujpxWv

[AFSCME District Council 47 @PHLafscmeDC47]

Together, we can send a clear message to Penn leadership: Respect workers. Settle a fair contract.

When workers speak up together, they create change. Today, Penn workers are standing united for a fair contract, and they need our support.

*Stand with Penn workers.
*Sign the petition.
*Share their stories.

The faces in these photos are the hardworking people who keep the University of Pennsylvania running every day. They're sharing their stories because this fight isn't just about a contract. It's about being valued, respected, and paid fairly for the work they do. ->

@Acyn So ... economic sanctions on Russia and China then?

Let Penn know that my union siblings & I deserve fair wages in our contract negotiations. It is outrageous that the largest corporation in Philadelphia, the Univ. of PA, is playing these games. I am on the negotiating team for the Local 590, & I see what they're doing.

Suited up and ready to go! Let’s do this!! #FightFor4

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

Spectacular! Look at that sea of green. Solidarity now! Solidarity forever! #FightFor4

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

Not just CEOs. University Presidents, Provosts, Deans, Directors of Libraries. The list goes on and on. #FightFor4

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

Neither do Universities. Support our siblings in @AFSCME590 and AFSCME Local 54, part of @PHLafscmeDC47 as we fight for fair wages. #FightFor4.

[Lloyd Frank @ljfrankviola]

Penn must do better. Fair wages now! #Fightfor4

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Working people, not CEOs, make this country run every day. It shouldn’t be this hard to live and make ends meet.

Workers are not asking for luxury. We’re asking for some breathing room. https://t.co/HIdEhIqbmF

[Lloyd Frank @ljfrankviola]

Yes. We deserve better. Leafleting today on campus. Help spread the word. #FightFor4

[Will Gross @WillforPA]

Penn’s workers deserve better. Today, the community stood with Local 54 and Local 590 in their fight for fair contracts.

Dining and library workers make @UofPenn a first-class institution. It’s time Penn recognized their value—with fair wages, benefits, and working conditions!

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

And we will be out on campus again today. This time with flyers! #FightFor4

[Lloyd Frank @ljfrankviola]

How many employees' lives would be improved if Penn put that $6.5 million towards wage increases that kept pace with the rate of inflation?

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

Well what do you know? Penn just can't seem to stop buying stuff. During a hiring freeze. While calling for budget cuts. Hypocrites. #FightFor4 https://t.co/CEmwapyaeF

[AFSCME Local590 @AFSCME590]

The difference between a 3% & a 4% increase across the entire Local 590 Founders unit is less than the salary + benefits for 1 year for this redundant, pointless library budget analyst. #FightFor4

[Lloyd Frank @ljfrankviola]

Hooray for a messy post-mortem process! Let the sunshine in! The only way forward for us is to let it all hang out. Can you imagine MAGA/GOP ever engaging in this kind of introspection? "The order is rapidly fadin'" https://t.co/NWQNcqCGUz

[Lloyd Frank @ljfrankviola]

No money for wages? But money for budget analysts? Here's some free analysis: put that damn salary into our wage increases. To post this position during active negotiations during a "hiring freeze" is next-level chutzpah. Penn, do better.
