BREAKING: Undergraduate TAs in the CS Department at @BrownUniversity are filing for union recognition with a supermajority, seeking to incorporate with @GradLaborOrg and @rifthp and become one of the first handful of undergraduate labor unions across the country.

Today, a living wage for a single adult in PG County is $22.65 according to the MIT Living Wage Calculator. In order to win this living wage, workers, organizers and allies must build strength in numbers and fight for this human right to a decent life.

@afscme_1072 fought for $15/hr for many years, and it was successfully won by the tireless efforts of workers and organizers on this campus.
