Without Contract, Brookline Educators Authorize Strike for Monday
R.I.P. Bobby De La Cruz, a pioneering labor rights organizer. ufw.org/robertodelacru…
As I write in this new op-ed for @inthesetimesmag, abortion rights are a labor issue—and the labor movement needs to show up on this latest front of the class war to fight with deeds, not just words inthesetimes.com/article/aborti…
Our movement is fighting for more autonomy and more humanity for all of us -- both in the workplace and outside of it. No boss and no court should ever have the right to tell us what to do with our own bodies. All of us in the labor movement must fight for our abortion rights.
The Classified Staff Union represents the workers that keep UMass Boston up and running — but they're still struggling to settle a fair contract. Sign this petition and help us show administration the entire UMB community stands in solidarity with the CSU: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
“I think it’s really a setback for higher education in Massachusetts. There are challenges facing the African American community the Trotter Institute was created to address.” baystatebanner.com/2022/04/20/bla…
In moments of honest self-critique I acknowledge that I can be a rigid thinker. And other times I have to insist that so much of the rhetoric currently issuing from upper admin is a purposeful distraction from the real story. baystatebanner.com/2022/04/20/bla…
Join us TOMORROW, 4/13, and Thursday, 4/14 outside of Wheatley Hall to demand safe learning and working conditions! We will be there from 8-4. A healthy, safe campus environment is non-negotiable.

'Roughly 350 non-tenure-track & adjunct professors at Howard University, one of the nation’s most important historically black universities, are demanding fairer compensation and better job security. If no agreement is reached by Wednesday, they’ll strike' jacobinmag.com/2022/03/howard…
📝🗣Sign a letter in support of Howard University Non-Tenure-Track and Adjunct Faculty. They deserve fair pay, a stable workload, job security, and respect for their work.✊🏾 #Solidarity 👉🏾 higheredlaborunited.org/news/solidarit…
We invite everyone to sign on to HELU's statement in support of #HowardUniversity non-tenure-track faculty and adjuncts who plan to strike for fair wages and stable employment March 23-25. bit.ly/3wu49mH #HBCU #Strike #Solidarity
Well, here is something delightful to report: we have a president-elect for the Faculty-Staff Union @UMassBoston and it is the first time in our history that the position will be held by a non-tenure track faculty member. And it's the truly fantastic Caroline Coscia!
As Neil Young once sang, "sooner or later, it all gets real." Still amazed that admin on my campus thought they could just brazenly lie and faculty would just sorta gulp and say, oh ok. umassmedia.com/news/faculty-c…
Free speech on campus isn’t just about offensive language. Restricting faculty speech reinforces existing power imbalances and limits educators’ ability to help students work through difficult (but important!) issues.
