In one hour! Join us at the UVA Chemistry Building to fight for a #LivingWage for everyone. If you get paid by UVA and aren't already a part of AAUP (it's not just for professors anymore), find someone in a red shirt with that cardinal logo on it and we'll get you started. #UnionStrong

UVA already holds classes on Labor Day, so I will be working on Monday, in addition to losing out on 4 extra hours of leave. It's almost too on the nose. For the record, other VA public universities are giving their employees the leave, including VT, VCU, and GMU. news.vt.edu/notices/hr/2...

This is yet another reason why we need a strong union presence in our public higher ed. UVA consistently decides to act against the best interest of its workers and is allowed to do so under the current state regulatory regime. The only thing that will change that calculus is real worker power.

Cecelia Parks @parkscl.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
TIL that Gov. Spanberger gave all state employees an extra 4 hours of leave in honor of Labor Day. That is, all state employees but NOT UVA employees. Why? Because the university "decided not to" (according to the UVA HR rep I spoke to). 🧵

Locked doors and emergency buttons: UVA professors raise safety concerns amidst growing online scrutiny and records requests
Some faculty say outside groups have targeted them with watchlists, records requests and online attacks — and without collective bargaining, they have few options to ask for greater protections.

I can't and won't argue with that, just noting that she is not the biggest obstacle in the legislature!

Cecelia Parks @parkscl.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
She did. However, legislators were told by the committee chair (Torian) that the bill would not move forward at all if higher ed workers were included, which put her and other generally supportive folks in a very tough spot.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Twice this week I’ve explained that UVA Health employees don’t have things like winter storm hazard pay because in reaction to Black UVA Health employees organizing for better working conditions, in 1947 the General Assembly made collective bargaining illegal for public sector employees in Virginia.
