I want to congratulate the workers at @ruaaup for taking the courageous step to go on strike. You are inspiring the labor movement across this country. I am proud to stand in solidarity with you.

Joined today in solidarity with @ruaaup - Rutgers professors, faculty, and graduate students who are on strike and demonstrating on the New Brunswick campus. An agreement must be reached that provides fair pay, benefits, and job security.
