TUGSA Strike Fund

TUGSA is raising money for a strike fund! This fund will support workers who are on strike, withholding their labor and sacrificing their pay to win change in our workplace. Your donation to this strike fund will make a concrete difference in union members’ ability to fight for real improvements at Temple University. If you believe that graduate instructors and researchers deserve fair pay, healthcare and support for their families, longer parental and bereavement leave, and better working conditions, please donate today!

...working-class power in the workplaces and the society can only be built by working people themselves—using their own action and solidarity through mass organizations they directly control.

@libcom

It is the perfect time for a wildcat strike! Or even better- a general strike in support of rail-workers!

But they're not striking. It seems the reasoning behind their flop is that they've been beaten down for so long, they think getting the word out (no sick days) is a win!

Frankly it's embarrassing that every other union let them flap in the wind.

The measure to give rail workers 7 paid sick days did not pass in the Senate. The vote tally was 52 yeas to 43 nays. 60 yeas were needed for the measure to pass.





You could be legislated against next!

“First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
--Martin Niemöller
