"My colleagues, many of whom are like me, foreign scientists, are terrified of being detained or having their visa status revoked." Read @HAWorkers and @UAWRegion9A member Kseniia Petrova's @nytimes op-ed, written from immigration detention in Louisiana. ow.ly/bvfw50VSP6G

What do @AFSCME workers do when they stand together in a #union? THEY FIGHT BACK FOR WORKING PEOPLE!!

Hear from @UAW President Shawn Fain why thousands of UAW members across the country are taking action to kill the Trump administration’s cuts to lifesaving research, healthcare, and education.
The fight is far from over — find more information at killthecuts.org.

"Wellesley College broadly presents itself as a progressive institution committed to feminist and social justice values. Its approach to bargaining a first contract with its non-tenure-track faculty, however, tells a different story." @UAWRegion9A jacobin.com/2025/04/non-te…

Every grad worker should feel accommodated and supported at Penn. Grad workers: sign our petition demanding Penn admin include strong anti-discrimination & anti-harassment clauses in our contract at tinyurl.com/GETUP-discrim

🧵 Statement from UAW President Shawn Fain on Attacks on Federal Workers: Yesterday, President Trump signed an order that tramples on the union rights of more than a million federal workers, stripping them of their ability to negotiate over their working conditions.

Join us for a national call on killthecuts.org day of action on 4/8. We will be joined by @NaomiAKlein and more. Help us defend our campuses. @AAUP @HigherEdLabor @AFTunion @AFTHigherEd @CWAUnion @dj_diva @NEAToday @UAW @uaw_4811 @SEIU @StrikeDebt @ueunion @AFSCME

We’re excited to welcome Ohio University faculty to the @AFTUnion family, so we can stand up for academic freedom, democracy, and a strong university for all. @OFTunion

On Thursday, GETUP rallied with fellow Penn unions to demand that Penn administration STOP PREEMPTIVELY COMPLYING with the Trump White House’s illegal attacks on higher education. We will fight to defend our coworkers, our students, & our communities!

Today, we showed up for our scheduled bargaining session with Penn management. Some of us were admitted, but other members of our union arrived to join and were denied entry. This is unacceptable. Our members demand transparency from Penn!
