Student Workers of Columbia @swcolumbia.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

Columbia is replacing union labor as we negotiate a new contract. Admin is emailing other universities to recruit teachers, while refusing to reappoint returning SWC instructors, who still don't know if they will teach or get paid in September. This is textbook union busting

Duke AAUP is standing up against Duke's preemptive layoffs. We call on Duke University and its board of trustees to immediately halt the separation process and layoff plans until faculty and staff representatives can be fully involved in any decision process that would impact Duke’s mission.

🗓️ Stewards' Workshop, Wednesday, 5/28: Shop stewards are the face of the union for most members, who rely on them for questions on the job and handling complicated grievances. Stewards can strengthen the union by bringing in those members! Sign up: labornotes.org/events/2025/...

A graphic for the upcoming online Stewards' Workshop on Wednesday, May 28 at 7.30 p.m. ET. It has a pale blue background. The graphic features a close up photo of a person gesturing while holding a document. They appear to be giving a presentation to an audience that is out of focus. The text on the graphic reads: "Labor Notes Stewards' Workshop: Thinking like an Organizer." and "Strengthen the union by getting more people involved."

We showed up for higher ed. Now it's time for administration to show up for us. Faculty and administration want the same thing: defend higher education. But that begins with recognizing our union. Read more about the rally --and why we're still waiting.
