Virginia higher education workers are fighting for all Virginians, with legislative priorities that benefit the public good. Are you employed in a VA college or university? If so, join us! ucwva.org

This week our members came in from across the state to speak with legislators about our top legislative priorities for 2024: childcare for all and collective bargaining rights!

Despite promises that @UVA would fix payment problems for graduate workers, workers continue to report late and/or incorrect payments at the start of the spring semester. Has UVA messed up your payments? DM us or let us know here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Happy Lobby Day! We had conversations supporting early childhood care funding and collective bargaining with Delegates and Senators, including @Sam_Rasoul, @MichelleforVA10, and @DavidBulova! Let's make the commonwealth better for all workers together: ucwva.org/get-involved/
