Effective for whom, we might ask

[GradLaborOrg (GLO) at Brown University @GradLaborOrg]

Rents are up 6.9% and Brown wants us to settle for a 3.25% "raise". Do they think grad workers can afford 2k+ a month with that kind of pay?

See you on Brown's Main Green tomorrow from 10am to 4pm!

great news out of harvard! @GradLaborOrg's advice and experience were critical for our success thus far, this is what solidarity looks like 🫶

[kay ⚢🌻 @kljungz]

We’re stronger together. @hgsuuaw voted to join forces with @harvarduwu to ensure the success of the campaign to unionize undergraduate student employees across Harvard.

we won our election (woo!) but we're not done organizing! it's time to think about what we need from a contract and prepare to bargain with Brown 🤔🤝

if you're a CS TA and interested in joining the bargaining committee email us at: [email protected]

Without the workers of @dukegradunion the university would cease to function, full stop.

Duke admin is scared because a union will force them to––God forbid––actually support their employees.

⚡️⚡️Unionized grads get better healthcare!⚡️⚡️

Back in December, the CS TAs w @talabororg asked Brown admin for voluntary recognition w over 70% support. Brown declined. So they organized harder, winning their NLRB election w over 90% support. These kids are more than just alright. They will change labor standards in tech.

[CS TA Labor Org (TALO) at Brown University @talabororg]

GET READY TO VOTE UNION YES TOMORROW!! All Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 CS TAs are eligible to vote tomorrow Thursday, March 2nd from 12-3PM or 5-8PM on the fourth floor of the sci-li!!! 💪😤

[CS TA Labor Org (TALO) at Brown University @talabororg]

So proud of this Op-Ed by our organizing committee members Ronnie, Yasmine, and Joe! They share how our union will preserve institutional memory and promote a healthy work environment for CS TAs and students at Brown and beyond 💪
