Library workers and dining workers at Penn are still at the bargaining table fighting for fair pay. Come out this Thursday at noon to support @afscme590.bsky.social and @afscmedc47.bsky.social Local 54
Our great coworkers in @afscme590.bsky.social & @afscmedc47.bsky.social Local 54 are negotiating their contracts and, as usual, Penn is dragging its feet. Join them (and us and other siblings) for a Union Solidarity Social tomorrow at 12 to hear about what they’re fighting for and show your support!
Happy May Day! Philly higher ed workers showed up in force to say FUND EDUCATION, NOT WAR AND DEPORTATION
Happy May Day! Philly is a union town—and today higher ed workers from many unions are meeting up in Love Park at 3:30 and marching together to City Hall at 4 to join the citywide Workers Over Billionaires march as a unified bloc. Come out and stand with workers all across the city!
Tomorrow at noon! Join higher ed workers from all across PA in Harrisburg for a rally for respect and full funding! Register here: tinyurl.com/y7s4usk8
Hear @proftwolf.bsky.social: “OUR compact is: higher education as a public good—that means free college for all; that means an end to student debt; that means work with dignity for everyone on our campuses; it means freedom to teach and freedom to learn without Big Brother on our back!”
We need teachers, we need books, we need the money the billionaires took! Come out NYC!
NYC, come out 11/7 and say: Billionaires out of our classrooms! Stand with @aaup.org @aft.org @debtcollective.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org @uupinfo.bsky.social. @higheredlabor.bsky.social @nysut.bsky.social @fordhamaaup.bsky.social @aaupcu.bsky.social, NYU AAUP, SDS, & many more
Calling all healthcare workers at university hospitals: join HELU members @higheredlabor.bsky.social for a spooky zoom event, “Skeleton Crews at Academic Medical Centers: The Dangerous Results of Bare-Bones Funding,” TOMORROW—Wed 10/29 at 7:30pm Eastern—to coordinate across the sector!
“We defeated the compact at Penn, we defeated it at Brown, MIT, and USC. Now they’ve extended it to every university in the country; that’s because they’re losing” —Todd Wolfson proftwolf.bsky.social
PA State Representative Rick Krajewski: “Trump and his ilk know that universities are places of independent thought… that is what they’re attacking…. Let’s keep fighting for the world we deserve”
“The work that we do would be impossible… without the activity that happens on campuses” —Senator Nikhil Saval speaks at the AAUP-Penn teach-in
AAUP-Penn teach-in underway! Faculty, grad workers, library workers, museum workers, students, and staff across this university—and across institutions—came together to fight loyalty oaths. We won that fight here for now because we organized, but it isn’t over until all higher ed stands up together💪
Now and forever, AAUP-Penn stands in solidarity with GETUP-UAW. Read our public statement today, as GETUP members held a massive practice picket to show they are ready to win a fair contract aaup-penn.org/statement-of...
Did you know GETUP-UAW members have been in negotiations with Penn for a year now? They are serious about winning a fair contract, and it is well past time. Practice picket right now on College Green—come out!
Philly, did you know that CHOP plans to build a 1,000-car private garage in Grays Ferry—increasing traffic and pollution in an already environmentally distressed neighborhood? Come out Saturday at 2 to say: Grays Ferry is not a parking lot, and kids deserve clean air!
Tomorrow, Philly! Come stand with @afscme.bsky.social DC33 at City Hall. These municipal workers make our city work and they need a fair contract!
No Kings in Philly! Come out tomorrow 6/14 to raise your voice and march from Love Park to the PMA with members of @ruaaup-ptl.bsky.social, @aaup-penn.bsky.edu, @higheredlabor.bsky.social , @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social, @aaup-bhsnj.bsky.social and many more
Inside the Inn at Penn, Trustees are making decisions none of us will ever have a say in. Out here, many of the workers whose research makes Penn a university are reading out their letter calling on Penn to respect their voice and let @rapup-uaw.bsky.social vote for their union
The great @sunnyshinlab.bsky.social of AAUP-Penn, a Med School faculty member, recalls the difference being in a union made for her when she was a postdoc and speaks out in powerful support of @rapup-uaw.bsky.social members’ democratic right to vote for their union to win better working conditions
As if Penn’s anti-union propaganda and bogus NLRB appeals weren’t enough, they’ve now ordered @rapup-uaw.bsky.social off campus—a violation of all employees’ rights to participate in concerted labor activity. But RAPUP is out here on 34th St fighting for their right to vote for their union!
Next Thursday 6/12! Come out and rally with @rapup-uaw.bsky.social, who are up against a bogus union-busting campaign from the Penn administration, as they stand up for their right to vote for their union
Tomorrow! Come to Labor Solidarity Happy Hour w/ members of AAUP-Penn, TAUP, @afscme590.bsky.social, @phillycwu.bsky.social GET-UP, @rapup-uaw.bsky.social CIR/SEIU, @fsfccp.bsky.social TUGSA, @fedworkersunited.bsky.social, @higheredlabor.bsky.social, UNITE HERE Philly, @uaphilly.bsky.social + more
