UNC-CH Stipends are not competitive with peer institutions. Grad and Campus workers can't survive on the scraps they give us! Sign and share our petition: tinyurl.com/unc-living-wage
ALT Figure ranks peer public and private universities visualizing the proportion of stipend to living wage in the area, with UNC Chapel Hill coming in dead last at 42%.

What is really being exposed here is the incredible number of essential local govt workers that keep our cities running that can’t afford to live here. Way too many make below $25/hr which is minimum amount needed to live here according to another new report from @EconomicPolicy

Our International Executive Board will also be forming a Divestment and Just Transition working group to study the history of Israel and Palestine, our union’s economic ties to the conflict, and explore how we can have a just transition for US workers from war to peace

I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe..

Students & workers rallying today to demand UNC divest from Israel
“@UNC Invests in many companies that contribute to racial apartheid & genocide against Palestinian people
Israel uses your tax payer money to Drop bombs and white phosphorous on Palestinian children”

We are co-sponsoring two Palestine actions today -- one with @ncstateydsa in Raleigh calling for a ceasefire and one with @UNC_SJP and @unc_ydsa and many others calling for @UNC to divest the Carolina system from apartheid.
Show up for a free Palestine!

It is highly unsettling that as workers continue to die across NC from working in the summer heat that the @NCGOP @NCDOL candidates want to continue to wait at best, & at worst deny the need for new workplace protections.
@votebraxton what is your plan?

SHAME! The hidden realities of the State Budget this year 👇🏻👇🏾👇🏿
🤮6% PAY CUT for State mental health workers!?🤬
As @ncdhhs is suffering from record vacancies & staff burn-out, having major impact on mental health services, they decided that the @NCGOP 4% raise signaled time to end the 10% premium pay
