For Graduate Student Appreciation Week, the U offered us a Taco Bar from 11-1. By 11:30, they were out of food and WATER (somehow? Besties it's literally free)

Don't you feel #appreciated ?

I think the eclipse is trying to tell us something

All workers deserve the right to join together with their peers and form a union, but current labor law is rigged against 23k UMN workers. Fortunately, Sydney Jordan Jen McEwen have a bill to re-write the rules for workers! CIR/SEIU SEIU UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 #UnionsForAll #mnleg

Happy Total Solar Eclipse Day!

Not at the U but might as well be

Appreciation is shown through action, darling

Check your UMN email for the subject line “Email your dean...” You can personalize the message with why the economic proposals are so important to you. The U needs to stop stonewalling and do their jobs, and we need fair compensation for doing ours!

This is true even as we are still in contract negotiations! If you think you may need to get in touch with an interim steward, contact a CAT/BC member and they'll connect you.

Murphy Hall (East Bank), Rm 130, 5:30 PM.

Be there to learn about the next stage of our contract fight and build our collective power! (Masks are appreciated. Zoom option also available-- email your BC /CAT rep for the link!)

To commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day today, here is a short thread of accessible texts on MLK with a focus on his relationship to labor. Going to start off w/ his own words from 'All Labor Has Dignity' where he urges us to 'unite beyond class lines.'

Great turnout at UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105’s rally today at the UMN right now!

Our bargaining team dealt with a lot of the same issues at the bargaining table with University of Minnesota as our Union siblings at UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 are. On some matters, they're treating the grad workers even worse! #solidarity

UMN undergraduates stand with graduate workers!

We were proud to join UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105’s rally for real workplace protections outside Carlson today.
