Nevada faculty are grateful for all the solidarity today. Showing up meant the Regents moved up the agenda item. Our collective advocacy meant the Regents postponed changing collective bargaining policy changes and requesting more faculty input in future process on changes!

We had solidarity in Vegas, Reno, and in Elko! Labor in all corners of the state came out in solidarity to say "no" to changing the rules for collective bargaining in the middle of faculty contract negotiations! And the Regents backed down and postponed any changes! @higheredlabor.bsky.social

We're here with the Nevada Faculty Alliance to support the fight to preserve union rights and shared governance for Nevada's higher-ed workers. Solidarity! @nvfa.bsky.social @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social @aaup.org @thenvindy.com

ICYMI: Webinar, featuring @aft.org President @rweingarten.bsky.social moderating a discussion with experts and strategists of resistance and people-powered movements and exploring how we turn the tide through education, organized labor, and strategic coalition-building. @sharemylesson.bsky.social

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Congratulations to the 100 pediatric doctors at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma who won their union with @aft.org! www.thenewstribune.com/news/busines...

"The AAUP calls on Duke University and its board of trustees to immediately halt the separation process & lay off plans until faculty & staff representatives can be fully involved in any decision process that would impact Duke’s mission of providing a superior liberal education to its students."

Attacks on international students hurt all Americans. International students contributed $43.8 billion and supported 378,175 jobs to the U.S. economy during the 2023-2024 academic year. Full national data from @nafsa-official.bsky.social here: www.nafsa.org/policy-and-a...

The Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to destroy higher education in the United States. It now demands that we sacrifice our international students in the process. Universities cannot acquiesce to such extortion.

The AFT and the @thesbpc.bsky.social are calling for federal investigations into potential mismanagement and corruption at the Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The faculty vote at Nevada State University was overwhelmingly in favor of collective bargaining. nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/...

Musk and the DOGE want to use NLRB data to intimidate workers, whistleblowers, unions and anyone who may want to hold them accountable for their disgusting union-busting. Let's be clear: the labor movement will not back down.

We call for the immediate release of former Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Kahlil, a legal permanent resident of the US. His abduction is an assault not only on basic immigration law but on our 1st Amendment protections of freedom of speech & assembly. www.aaup.org/news/aaup-co...

NOW: Opponents of SB1, the higher ed. overhaul bill, are rallying in the basement of the Ohio Statehouse. Bill had a hearing today, with 600+ listed opp. testimony. Committee was cut off at 12pm, only hearing from about 15. @ohiocapitaljournal.com my colleague @megankhenry.bsky.social has more.

Now, help us convince @govwesmoore.bsky.social, @senbillferg.bsky.social, & other key MD legislators that ALL MD Public Higher Ed faculty need collective bargaining rights. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/letters/md-p...

"When I came here...I found out we didn't have [a union], & that we weren't even allowed to unionize, I was honestly shocked & embarrassed for my home state of Maryland." @govwesmoore.bsky.social & @senbillferg.bsky.social, listen to MD faculty & librarians. We ALL need collective bargaining rights

For more on information on this bill, check out this detailed thread on it: bsky.app/profile/uam-...

We are fighting for the rights of ALL MD Public Higher Ed Faculty & librarians to collectively bargain! Can you take a sec & write to @senbillferg.bsky.social @govwesmoore.bsky.social & other legislators to ask them to support our bill for ALL faculty & librarians? actionnetwork.org/letters/md-p...

Unions will go where administrators often fear to tread and we have to work hard to keep the administrators accountable to the principles of academic freedom, shared governance, diversity, and due process. Unions defend these rights when others won’t. Join now! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a significant decision that puts a firewall between actors whom we believe lack the legitimacy and authority to access Americans’ personal data and are using it inappropriately, without any safeguards. @rweingarten.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
