Good on @MSanchezPVD and @justinroias for stepping up when Mayor 🙃 would not. This is the kind of leadership our city needs, beginning with the needs of the most vulnerable and taking action to address them
Providence City Council@pvdcitycouncil
Efforts spearheaded by Councilors @MSanchezPVD and @JustinRoias to provide warm sanctuary away from the cold for Providence's unhoused community, including opening up the Council chamber overnight, were profiled today in @thenation by @thomasbirm. "Yet the plan to protect the city’s unhoused residents only occurred thanks to direct actions spearheaded by councilmen Roias and Sanchez, actions that stand in contrast to the wave of criminalization and callousness toward homelessness that has increasingly swept urban areas across the country."

Expect to hear more from Local 6516 about this after break. For now, Happy Holidays to all, even Brown's highly overcompensated executives ❤️ ❤️

But it doesn't have to be this way. Workers can and should have a say in how Brown's considerable resources are used. As we continue to bargain several contracts with the university, we will push for living wages for Brown's workers and real transparency in its finances

A university president with a seven figure salary will look you dead in the eyes and say “literature is just too expensive.”

Ah yes, it’s always the unionized grad student who are responsible for the demise of English, history, etc

Nothing but solidarity with @gradworkersofBU as they fight for their working lives.
This is the future that administrators have for higher ed: $100k a year in tuition while the university is stripped for parts. Our only defense is collective action
BU Grad Workers@gradworkersofBU
yep, it’s true: BU has suspended PhD admissions to the humanities and social sciences after grad workers won a 70% raise through a 7-month long strike. read our rank and file statement here:

Brown University pay taxes challenge (impossible)
Mayor Brett Smiley@PVDMayor
Big news for the @CityofProv! We’ve signed a historic PILOT agreement with @BrownUnivHealth (formerly Lifespan) to secure $1.5M in voluntary payments over 3 years — the largest in a decade. Together, we’re building a stronger, more sustainable future for our city.

Never been a better time to organize!

The NLRB just banned companies nationwide from holding anti union "captive audience" meetings. Amazon spent ~$17 million b/w 2022-2023 on consultants hired to convince its workers against unionizing. The ruling will likely be reversed under Trump. washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
