Surveillance technology in the hands of elite institutions will be used to damage fights for justice. What's at stake is not simply some abstract concept of privacy. What's at stake in this case is organizing for wages, power, and protections for people who make this campus run

According to Starbucks, union-busting is socially irresponsible. Their social responsibility scorecard requires that suppliers recognize the right to "Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining," with "no fear of reprisal" for workers. Starbucks, follow your own rules!

NEW: Today universal child care seems like a radical, unattainable, expensive dream. But America had a child care program—for years—and managed to pay for it during the most expensive war ever. And it worked. What happened?

Congrats @univmiami for growing your endowment by $1.6 million during the pandemic. How much money did you save by understaffing and overworking low wage groundskeepers? Howabout by freezing faculty retirement contributions?

Yesterday, @cbmfloridamiami janitors marched & picketed the Las Olas Centre, affiliated w @DeutscheBank, to protest CBM's threats & intimidation over their workers' union activity, as well as poverty wages & lack of #PaidSickDays. The time is NOW for #JusticeforJanitors!💪🏾✊🏿🧹

[32BJ SEIU Florida @32BJFlorida]

Hi 👋 to everyone but anti-union contractors like @cbmfloridamiami who pay their janitors poverty wages w/no paid sick days & don't respect their workers' right to organize. So FL janitors are going UNION. Companies like CBM, won't hold us back!✊🏾🙌🏾 #JusticeforJanitors #1u

[UM AAUP-Alliance @UmAaup]

UM president Frenk again today reiterated that the .@univmiami has no plans to restore faculty & staff 403(b) contributions halted during the peak of Covid even as finances have improved dramatically.

[UM AAUP-Alliance @UmAaup]

Worse, when pressed on how the uni plans to reward and invest in the very people who helped hold things together during the crisis, he was unmoved. Lots of gratitude but no cash. Wonder if any administrators received bonuses recently? 🤔

Miami commissioner @alexDLPmiami creating drama, gunning for a formerly houseless worker @LotusHouse1, cutting her and others off mid sentence, & raising his voice demanding to know if Lotus House organized our civic engagement today.

“Homeless have rights & so do residents & so do people” @Manolo4Miami Telling on himself and who he deems valuable.

[UMESA: UMiami Employee Student Alliance @umesamiami]

@Manolo4Miami is like “homeless have rights & so do people” LOL. Context: Miami City Commission is trying to pass an anti-camping ordinance that will give police a mandate to arrest people for not affording housing.
