Paying grad student workers a living wage indexed to inflation is a #DiversityAndInclusion in #academia issue.

Students for Diversity Equity & Inclusion supports AU Grad Workers Union and AU Staff Union #BigPurp #WeShutItDown in their negotiation for competitive compensation. Join tomorrow 3/23 to say #AUChangeCantWait

Proud to be here with my American University First-Year Advising colleagues at the AU Staff Union #BigPurp #WeShutItDown strike! #AStrikeReadyU #AUChangeCantWait Sylvia M. Burwell #hotlaborsummer

At a time when the university is raising $500 million under the banner #AUChangeCantWait , the message at the bargaining table has been: Workers Can Wait.

American University workers deserve #RealChangeNotSpareChange Sylvia M. Burwell Peter Starr American University

Sylvia M. Burwell Girl we're still in the middle of the vote. Don't piss us off 😒

Our strike fund is less than $500 away from our goal & we have negotiations at 10AM!

Can we make our goal by 10AM so we can show American University, Sylvia M. Burwell, & Peter Starr that we aren't backing down?

American University Sylvia M. Burwell stop trying to shame staff for asking for a livable wage when you get paid the amount of our annual salaries every two weeks. Settle a fair contract! American University AU Staff Union #BigPurp #WeShutItDown #auchangecantwait #astrikereadyu #UnionStrong
