In Minnesota, we will not allow our kids to go hungry. I’m signing universal school meals into law – today. nytimes.com/2023/03/17/wor…

Today, TUGSA members finished voting on the Tentative Agreement reached with @TempleUniv on Friday. Membership voted over 92% to REJECT the agreement with over 83% of the membership voting. As a result, the strike will continue. We are ready to bargain tomorrow. A 🧵 (1/8)

Graduate students at Temple University have faced retaliation for going on strike and asserting the radical notion that they should make a living wage, receive decent benefits, and get dignity on the job. I stand in strong solidarity with the workers of @TUGSA_6290.

Today students received an email from admin stating they “recognize the key role” TAs & RAs play in helping the university operate. Let’s see @TempleUniv recognize that via paying us a higher wage instead of hiring scabs! #TempleUnionMade #TUGSAstrike

While getting my Masters, I remember the feeling of wanting to change the world while also taking care of myself. That’s what @TUGSA_6290 wants. I’m calling on @TempleUniv to negotiate in good faith and provide adequate support to these current learners and future leaders.

"I have interacted with a student who, seeing the minimal parental leave, purposefully scheduled her C-section during school breaks. I spoke to an international student whose salary and healthcare costs forced him to send his daughter to live with her grandparents in India."

Temple University said it will no longer cover tuition for 150 graduate students who have been on strike at the Philadelphia campus since the end of January. wapo.st/3YAXlhV

We're ready to bargain while @TempleUniv slashes healthcare and tuition remission. The world is watching, where are you? #TUGSAStrike #templeunionmade

Lol “for my convenience”

Appalling that Temple would retaliate against @TUGSA_6290 workers for pushing for better benefits and working conditions. Donate to the union's strike fund if you can: tugsa.betterworld.org/campaigns/tugs… twitter.com/mings_ga/statu…

.@TUGSA_6290 ‘ s fight is Philadelphia's fight, labor’s fight, and our students’ fight. It’s time that graduate workers made a living wage. #TempleUnionMade

Without fair wages and benefits, @TempleUniv‘s programs can’t remain competitive, and that does a disservice to their students. I stand with @TUGSA_6290 in support of a fair contract. inquirer.com/news/temple-un…

I proudly stand in solidarity with @TUGSA_6290 workers on strike. The union way of life is sacred. It’s long past time for Temple to come to the table & provide these workers with a good contract, fair pay, and better benefits.

Join the line! Fair contact now! #tugsastrike #templeunionmade inquirer.com/news/temple-un…

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade
