Activism

4/8/2025

Dear Members,

As workers in public higher education, we have been facing a barrage of attacks; from our grants to our diversity, to our academic freedom, to our immigrant colleagues. These attacks all stem from one root: a singular offense against working people and the public goods that our democracy relies on.

Dear FSU Members,

On the Friday before Spring Break over 50 campus union members, along with students, showed up at the PSU bargaining session to make our voices heard.   It was a great show of union strength.  The campus unions have planned the same actions this week right before bargaining sessions for both the FSU and CSU.  We need your presence for no more than 30 minutes on Wednesday and Thursday.

Wednesday from 9:15-9:45am right outside Wheatley room W-5-41  (FSU bargaining starts at 9:45)

Dear Member,

UMB staff supported faculty and librarians by showing up to our bargaining action on March 5^th.   It is now our turn to support them.

Please join faculty, students, and staff this Friday for 15-20 minutes between 12:00 and 12:30 by simply showing up outside CC 3540.   The Professional Staff Union begins bargaining at 12:30 and we need to show the Administration that we support campus unions and the university staff who make this place run.
