WE’RE FIRED UP! Philly’s tourism doesn’t happen without the hospitality workers who make this city shine. Workers are on STRIKE at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown and the Hampton Inn until we get our piece of the pie.

Let’s take PA from the bottom 10 to the top 10! Calling all PA public higher education workers! Use the QR code to register today to get on the bus from Philly, Pittsburgh, and across the state! Our students, union members, and communities can’t afford any more defunding.

We have REPEATEDLY asked @CCPedu management to join us and fight for full funding for Philly’s college, Community College of Philadelphia. Repeatedly they’ve refused. Instead, they choose to pay millions for anti-union lawyers, to bargain in bad faith, & shortchange students.

We were proudly out in cities across the US today demanding #freedavidendraids. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids on our communities. We will win through solidarity. – at New Orleans, LA
DAVID IS RELEASED and with his family! He still faces an unjust felony charge. SEIU CA USWW President David Huerta was assaulted and arrested while standing up for immigrants’ rights. While we’re relieved that David is out after three nights in detention, we demand the Trump regime drop the unjust charge against him & end the raids! seiu.co/endraids #FreeDavidEndRaids

It’s also worth noting that less than 12 hours before negotiations began, the room was changed to a much harder one to find. We put up signs to direct people to the new room and they kept being torn down. It didn’t dissuade us tho 😎

Two weeks ago, the Temple University administration cancelled its negotiations with the grad student union, @TUGSA_6290. In response, the union held a strike vote which passed with over 99%. This is the last negotiation session to avoid a strike. I’ll be tweeting updates here👇🏻🧵

Yesterday's rally was a huge success thanks to the amazing support of our elected leaders from the @PHLCouncil , @PaHouseDems , and @PaSenateDems ! Having @JohnFetterman showing #Solidarity with our fight is inspiring, an honor, and keeps us going! 🔥Statewide Solidarity 🔥
Education should be affordable AND universities should pay their employees a livable wage. I stand with @TUGSA_6290 TAs and RAs at @TempleUniv. Solidarity always💯

.@TempleUniv is mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for all students, faculty, staff and contractors. The mandate comes after @PhilaGov announced today that all health care workers, faculty and students at local schools must be vaccinated by Oct. 15. temple-news.com/temple-manda…
