"The AAUP is not going to stand by & watch President Trump once again attempt to destroy the greatest system of higher education in the world that gives opportunity to a diverse set of students for a diverse country. Yes, emphatically, yes. We are going to fight this." – Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

If you're an advocacy chapter like us (along with our friends in @local6741.bsky.social!) One of the best things you can do for your members is stand in solidarity with unions on strike, in contract negotiations, etc. You'll learn a lot, and when your time comes, you'll get that solidarity back 10x!

Yesterday we were on the picket line with our friends in @nationalnurses.bsky.social here in Reno, NV. Short staffing and union busting? Teachers know that fight! Solidarity with our nurses!

If you are wondering how bar-shit crazy Texas is these days: the University of Houston removed almost half of its courses to comply with state censorship laws.

UH removes over 45% of courses from its ‘core’ curriculum to comply with SB 37 | Houston Public Media

Some of the classes removed from UH’s core curriculum include those discussing race and gender, such as Introduction to LGBT Studies, Women and Gender in Arabic Literature, and Intro to Global Climate...

Getting my job back at the Washington Post would not have been possible if it wasn’t for me belonging to a union. @postguild.bsky.social and @wbng.org are the unions I belong to. I was able to challenge my wrongful termination because of the collective bargaining agreement / union contract!

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 2mo ago

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting. What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it. Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. No Contract? No Coffee.

Faculty deserve an administration that bargains seriously, respects their union, and invests in the people who make Ohio University work. Share to show your support for United Academics of Ohio University as they fight for a stronger OU for all!

It’s probably just a coincidence that conservatives are pushing for 3-year bachelor degrees, right?

Three-year Bachelor’s Degrees Devalue Student Education, Do Nothing to Address Root Cause of Affordability Crisis

The approval of accelerated three-year bachelor’s degrees at Suffolk and Merrimack Universities in Massachusetts threatens academic integrity.
