On Wednesday, Sept. 16, grad workers and postdocs from across campus rallied for a fair contract now and inclusion of all grad workers in our union. UMass Chan is trying to exclude graduate workers on fellowships and on rotations from being in our union. We demand the same rights for all trainees.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who dedicated his life to advancing the cause of equality and justice for every American.
Quote by Martin Luther King Jr. about taking a stand guided by conscience, displayed on a blue and gold background with the UAW logo. 

"There's comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
