Hundreds of UChicago workers rallied yesterday to demand safer workplace conditions, protections from harassment and discrimination, and a living wage! @SEIU73, @NationalNurses and @uchicagogsu stood in solidarity to show the university that we have the power to shut it down!

Thank you @ChicagosMayor for putting Columbia College students first and calling for a quick resolution at the bargaining table. #FairContractNow for CFAC @PFACColumbia.

CFA members will be going on #strike next month if we cannot settle our re-opener contract with @thecsu management. We are joining together to fight management’s disinvestment in the people directly responsible for student learning and success. #FairContractNow #DoBetterCSU

Paid Leave Now! ¡Tiempo libre ahora! The Chicago Paid Leave ordinance is on the council agenda. Every worker in Chicago deserves paid time off! 💪 @AriseChicago @RaiseTheFloor @shrivercenter @WomenEmployed @afscme31 @EqualityILL @onefairwage @MechLocal701 @SEIULocal1 @SEIUhciimk
