text on a red background: UW Research Scientists & Postdocs need fair contract because... "The current wages are not enough to live on in Seattle, especially if you are considering having a family, which should be a basic human right. The point isn't that UW should be motivated by their own self-interest to provide better wages and security. The point is that UW needs to provide these things, because we're going to fight for them." Henry Brinkerhoff, Postdoctoral Associate, Physics

The @TacomaArtMuseum Board promised us a decision on our union at its meeting on March 31st. To date, we have not heard anything. We were there to hear the decision, but the Board simply filed past us. Grant voluntary recognition so we can begin making TAM all it can be.

Shameful: Broken promises and more delay tactics from the Board. Very disappointing. #UnionsForAll #solidarity #recognitionnow

OK, now that the UW library workers (press included) have a union contract, I can unleash this wave of praise on its recent books. And this is stuff written, finished, edited, etc during a dam-demic! Holy smokes -- take a look at the website: uwapress.uw.edu/new-and-forthc

Our bargaining team stayed up and fought for 21 hours. They are the true heroes!! I can’t believe after 16 months we are finally here. We proved that we are #StrongerTogether and we did the damn thing! #UWlibrarySTRIKE #UnionsForAll #RespectProtectPayUs @SEIU925 twitter.com/UWLibUnion/sta…

Not bargaining in good faith is pretty damn disgraceful. How disgraceful is it? So disgraceful that my Picket Hound, who is currently paralyzed, suggested we hit the picket line this week...

The @UWLibUnion bargaining team is still at the table with @UW! Meanwhile, there’s a sign-making station in Red Square in preparation for a possible strike tomorrow, plus this countdown banner #UWLibraryStrike #RespectProtectPayUs
