Here is a sign posted at the AFT building, which houses the @aaup's DC office, establishing this as the sole entrance for AAUP staff, making every other entrance to the building a "neutral gate." A neutral gate is a picket-busting tactic, as we assume @imulvey knows.

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

Our virtual picket is live on Facebook. Watch now! It's time for the @AAUP management to bargain in good faith. https://t.co/W0gLmP96zR

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

On Strike! The US-AAUP members of the Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure and Governance walked off the job today; the strike is the first in a series of planned rolling one-day ULP strikes as the @AAUP management fails to bargain in good faith. https://t.co/BryMzfLA1B

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

Why it's time for us to strike: this week we announced that we will begin a series of unfair labor practice strikes next week after @AAUP management failed to bargain in good faith. Read more on our Substack: https://t.co/WTVumxs7O3

Sabbaticals, in-person workdays and guaranteed raises are elements of a dispute that’s meant staff members at the @AAUP have been out of contract for a year. https://t.co/J3Z2ug5FZP

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

New piece in @insidehighered by @RyanEQuinn about our fight for greater equity for all @AAUP staff as we close in on one year without a contract.

She's been a tremendous asset to the AAUP and to our team -- leading our negotiations with wit, intelligence, and professionalism. She also has two great cats, who we will also miss, because they make appearances on most of her Zoom calls. Happy trails and thank you again.

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

A Friday shout-out to our great and wonderful lead negotiator, Sarah Lanius. Today is her last day as a full-time employee at the AAUP -- it's a huge loss to us, personally and professionally, but we know she's on to great things. Thank you, Sarah! You're amazing.

[US-AAUP @us_aaup]

We're continuing to highlight our members and the valuable work they do for the AAUP. Wil Davidson, our longest serving staffer, is the glue who holds our staff together, bringing incredible expertise, joy, and kindness to his work. Thank you for all you do! #UnionStrong

"It would create a truly equitable work environment, where staff of color do not have to carry the burden of in-office work."
