📰PRESS RELEASE: Columbia University Begins School Year by Filing an NLRB Charge that Risks Student Workers’ Right to Unionize Nationwide
The attack on student unions is an attack - in concert with Trump - on the better version of the university we are fighting for. Thank you @amannmahajan for covering our and @hgsuuaw's contract campaigns against corporate universities.
A week before classes were set to begin, Columbia University informed around 140 unionized graduate student workers that they had been removed from their teaching duties. The university is hiring nonunion adjunct instructors to do the work instead. jacobin.com/2025/08/columb…
There is still a chance that some of these jobs can be restored. We call on everyone who cares for the welfare of workers and the future of higher ed: DO NOT SCAB for Columbia. Sign & share our open letter: tinyurl.com/core-open-lett…
Our non-tenured colleagues who teach many of these classes are already reporting mandatory class size increases across the board. When you expel the undergrads, don’t train the graduates, and overwork the faculty, who will want to live, work, and study at Columbia?

“Not filling the Core preceptorships would be a tremendous loss both for graduate students in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and for all undergraduates who take classes in the Core.” - Joanna Stalnacker, former Chair of Literature Humanities at Columbia
SWC is not the only union targeted by Columbia during contract negotiations. We are appalled at Barnard’s firing of 77 workers, including union siblings of UAW local 2110. The mass layoff impacts the livelihoods of workers as well as Barnard and Columbia's educational mission.

Join @TCSWunion at Great Hill in Central Park today from 3 - 6 for our general body meeting in the park! We'll have refreshments and games, and at 4 pm we'll share updates about our most recent meeting with TC admin regarding a democratic process for union recognition!
Columbia suspended or expelled multiple SWC members for protesting our employer’s complicity in genocide. Donate to the Student Worker Aid Collective to provide emergency support for protestors who just lost their pay and healthcare. tinyurl.com/swac-pop
Columbia has left me and my fellow grad student instructors with zero idea of if we’ll be teaching (and therefore if we’ll have a stipend, insurance, etc) in the fall — a clear effort to break our union as we launch our contract fight

Welcome home, Mahmoud!
We stand with @bradlander, who was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents for asking for a judicial warrant while accompanying an @alaa2325 member & their client in immigration court. UAW members fight abuses by ICE every day—we demand Brad’s release & an end to ICE’s attacks.

The federal court judge in the @UAW lawsuit to defend the NIH: “I have never seen government racial discrimination like this.” (He’s also the judge in the @aaup_nyu suit to defend academic freedom for international scholars and students.) nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/…

With President Trump launching an all-out assault on higher ed, Columbia faculty rallied yesterday on campus to demand that their university's leaders cease collaborating with the administration and stand up for academic freedom and the safety of its students. Photos: Nina Berman
