Crystal Carey is not unknown to our #UArtsUnion… she was on the (losing!) team of @morganlewislaw.bsky.social lawyers hired by UArts admin to drag out negotiations on the UArts faculty contract for THREE years - a contract we won by calling for a strike vote.

BREAKING: Two unions with over two million government workers are suing the Trump admin over illegal executive orders. AFSCME and AFGE assert that Trump illegally exceeded his authority by unilaterally trying to roll back a regulation that protects civil servants.

This morning, we learned that President Trump fired Board Member Gwynne Wilcox, whose Senate-confirmed term runs until 2028. This move must be called out for what it is—a frontal assault on the NLRB, its employees, workers, and the very idea of an independent civil service. 🚨

The closure of UArts was an enormous loss for our city’s world-class arts community. The sale of its campus should prioritize buyers that will safeguard its legacy and uphold a vision of the Avenue of the Arts as a nexus of creative expression, collaboration, and education.

inquirer.com

Should arts buildings remain in the arts community in the case of bankruptcy? The sale of UArts’ assets may hinge on the answer.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General has objected to the Arts Bank sale to Quadro Bay, arguing that state law requires that the donor’s intent and charitable purposes of the property be considered.
