I say this with my heart bursting with genuine respect and with the most familiar sympathy oozing from my pores:
THIS THIS THIS IS PRECISELY WHY ACADEMICS NEED LABOR UNIONS

My #SEIU brothers and sisters could use your support!

I had to ask an intermediary to get in touch with a #Philippines #laborunion to get photos to share with their global affiliates. This was after they ignored (or didn't see) all my emails. Entire process took 10 days.
Of course, no captions, wonder how long it will take me to get those...

@aram It's an old story and a mundane one. We patiently, doggedly organized. We got fed up, we decided it was time to form a union. (Crystallized around the administration ordering us back into classrooms in 2021 with no real mask mandate and an overt, cowardly capitulation to a tiny handful of Trumpist anti-vaxxers in the state capitol.)
A committed core quietly organized for two years. Auditioned a bunch of big internationals. Only SEIU had the resources to take us on: a historically large unit, 5,000+ faculty spread across a dozen campuses around the state. Two more years of quiet behind-the-scenes organizing.
I got seriously involved over the past year, after we went public. Testifying at the Capitol, talking to media, countless meetings, outreach to students, canvassing almost daily, knocking on colleagues' doors, getting enough cards for an election, and then winning it.
My spiel was simple: my wife is an academic with the same experience as I have, but she makes a 30% higher salary, and has laughably dramatically extra-galactically better benefits, than I do.
Like I said, so much more to say, but that's the nut of it.
Last week we got the results, a 3:1 victory, despite the administration's ham-fisted scare tactics.
"When we fight, we win."

@aram Ho HO let me tell you, I got SO MUCH to say about this topic! So much that I spent the past year canvassing all over campus and getting cards signed and filing for an election and then winning a union MIC DROP

My amazing faculty colleagues at The Pennsylvania State University have just WON our vote to form a labor union!
The vote was historic: the biggest vote in education in Pennsylvania history. Now 5,000 plus of us are part of SEIU local 668!
Initial reports are that we won with 75% of the vote. Three to one.

#Trump Admin Threatens to Stop #SocialSecurity If #DOGE Can’t Have #PersonalData
Trump’s interim Social Security chief says he wants to turn off the program if Musk and DOGE can’t access Americans’ most sensitive data
by Andrew Perez, March 21, 2025
"Donald Trump’s interim Social Security chief suggested Thursday night he will effectively turn off the agency that manages the essential safety net program for seniors and the disabled, if Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can’t access the non-anonymized sensitive personal information and data of hundreds of millions of Americans, based on a judge’s order.
"'My anti-fraud team would be DOGE affiliates. My IT staff would be DOGE affiliates,' said #LeeDudek, acting Social Security Administration (#SSA) commissioner, arguing the order was too broad, according to Bloomberg News. 'As it stands, I will follow it exactly and terminate access by all SSA employees to our IT systems,' he said, adding: 'Really, I want to turn it off and let the courts figure out how they want to run a federal agency.'
"Dudek’s threat to block SSA employees from using the agency’s IT systems — a move that could halt #SocialSecurityPayments — came in response to a judge’s temporary restraining order in a case brought by the #AFLCIO #LaborUnion. The order bars Social Security Administration officials from allowing DOGE, including Musk, and the SSA’s DOGE team to access personally identifiable information. It also directs Musk and DOGE to delete from their possession all non-anonymized personal data, and bars them from having access to SSA computers or code.
"Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander wrote that the SSA had likely violated administrative and privacy laws when it gave DOGE 'unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers’ license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses.'
"She added that the 'defendants, with so-called experts on the DOGE Team, never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government.'"

"Preston, vote for your board of directors"
REI, a fucking *co-op*, is engaged in union busting. The union wants us to vote down (vote to "withhold") all three of the candidates put up for the board. See screenshots for what the email and process looks like to do so.

"I had to buy my freedom from the employer in 2021 in South Korea. I had to submit fully to his demands and pay him all of my final paycheck plus more ... in order to get free from him," she said.
