📷 BREAKING: NYC elected officials back @CFUUAW ahead of Monday's strike deadline! @CityAndStateNY reports that over 60 local electeds sent a letter to top NYU leaders, urging them to avert a strike by giving CFU-UAW a “fair agreement.” cityandstateny.com/politics/2026/…

By now, all across the state, we've seen the bonuses and the salaries of UC's top management. We know they have the money to meet ALL of our core demands -- why would we settle for anything less!? What we are fighting for is a contract that will give us long-term security, so the money we make won’t be eaten up by the rising healthcare and housing costs. #afscme3299 #3299strong #ucworkers #faircontractnow #ucIrvine #douglasmedcenter #ucsd #ucsandiego #wages #bonuses #compensation #ucwages

If we are forced to strike next week, our message to visitors is clear: come back another time. Please don't cross our picket line for admissions tours, events, or deliveries.

Today the bill granting collective bargaining rights to Maryland's non-tenure track faculty passed out of the Senate! Unfortunately while certain groups of non-tenure track faculty are omitted, today's vote brings us closer than ever to granting all faculty the rights... [1/3]

Today, we're calling on the Trump administration to implement a one-year pause on federal student loan debt payment and collection services for all federal student debtors after the Trump admin announced plans to shift the student loan portfolio from Education to Treasury.
