BREAKING: 4,500 graduate workers at the University of Pennsylvania are forming a union as @GETUPgrads and are joining @UAW.

Today, we rallied to celebrate signing over 2700 union authorization cards which demonstrate supermajority support for GET-UP, and announce our plan to file for a union election. Over 600 of us signed a letter asking Penn to remain neutral and respect our right to form a union…
