This week Congress blocked Trump’s 40% cuts to science research, choosing instead to increase funding for NIH & NSF. They also blocked his 70% cuts to “indirect cost reimbursement” for science grants (which fund labs, equipment, support staff at universities). www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/04/m...

Thanks to the HUNDREDS of workers who came out to support job security and a fair contract!

Harvard is rich, but they won’t protect us. Now is the time to get involved in the union! Attend a bargaining session, OC meeting, or organizer training! Reach out to a leader or DM for more info.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It’s move-in day at @tufts.edu and SMFA Professors of the Practice (PoPs) are making their voices heard! 📢 Since April 2024, PoPs have been negotiating their first union contract—but Tufts still refuses to offer them a livable wage.
