New Student Workers Union

Dear New School + Labor community, NewSWU has filed for a representation petition with the NLRB, officially seeking to be part of ACT-UAW Local 7902! Full statement at the link in our bio.

There’s a lot of talk about staff unions being antithetical to union democracy. But so many of our members who have won grievances, or benefit from our contract just want to stand with our organizers. This isn’t hard.

Hear from UAW members who have come out to our picket line! Join us today at 39 Broadway 10am-4pm 🪧✊✊

We are wondering the same thing ourselves…no word from management in 3 days 🤷‍♀️

BREAKING: UAW Staff United (USU), the union representing many United Auto Workers (UAW) International and local staff organizers in the Northeast United States, is on strike!

Now, we are asking @UAW to live up to their values & give us job security, sick leave, and free speech. This Thanksgiving, show your love for USU and send an email urging UAW to avert a strike! Link in bio 🍋

As USU, we’re thankful to be able to organize with @UAWRegion9A members every day. We can’t express how grateful we are to have the support of so many of the members we work with to win improvements in their workplaces. 1/

"Five thousand University of California workers filed to form a new union in @uawregion6 on Friday. “'This is a movement and a campaign that is really long overdue,'" said Nandini Inmula, a career services worker at UCLA." dailybruin.com/2024/11/08/500…

Today UAW leaders and rank-and-file members, along with the National Labor Network for Ceasefire, joined the mass mobilization in Washington, DC to oppose Netanyahu’s visit, and to call for an end to all US military aid to this war. #StandUpUAW

Two days later and @parsonsdesign have said nothing about @jcrew CEO’s Husband David Potter assaulting our students. Turns out being a @TheNewSchool donor comes with the added perk of being able lay hands on a student of your choice. Must have missed that.

Today, SENS-UAW rank and file members joined the broad coalition in Albany in support of the Not On Our Dime! Bill

As of this morning, Educational Student Employees at Western Washington University are ON STRIKE for a fair 1st contract. ESEs do critical work that makes WWU run, and it's time for WWU admin to agree to a contract that creates a pathway to college affordability ✊⏰

There are growing calls from academic workers and other members of the UAW for an all-out strike against the police crackdown on campus protests against the #GenocideinGaza. @SENSUAW @UAW7902 @AdalahNY @wawog_now @IUonStrike @meibot_ @newstudentswork wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Last night at the Parsons Gala, David Potter, husband of @jcrew CEO Libby Wadle-Potter, was documented grabbing a pro-Palestine student protestor. NYPD legal ran up to him & he pointed toward another protestor, who NYPD tackled to the ground & arrested. Potter was not arrested.

Let’s be clear: tonight a New School donor assaulted a New School student and got off scot free. This is @TheNewSchool under @DonnaShalala and this board of trustees.

A table at the Parsons gala costs about the same amount as we want The New School to divest from the ongoing genocide. The Board of Trustees must vote YES by their June 14th deadline.

We would be grateful for any help in identifying the gala attendee. @parsonsdesign Do you condone your donors directly assaulting your students? @TheNewSchool

Three were arrested tonight (including a SENS member) at the @parsonsdesign gala. This came after a gala attendee physically assaulted a protester and the NYPD stood by and helped usher him to his car. instagram.com/reel/C7QOjs2N-…
