The HGSU graduate student worker is trained as a student marshal to ensure participant safety during campus protests. Both student marshals and protest participants are engaged in protected speech, under the US constitution and the University’s protocols.

Since the protest, reactionary right-wing media has deployed racist and dehumanizing tropes to decontextualize and distort the actions of the protest marshals. The University has abdicated its duty to protect its students and caved to backlash and lies.

Our Bargaining Committee is heading into their 1st bargaining session with the Harvard admin TODAY! Given how difficult it was to get Harvard to the bargaining table to negotiate our first contract, this is a promising start—one we owe to the strength of our past organizing.

Next week, we’re going to go on strike AGAIN after our #Striketober action. Why? Because Harvard refuses to agree to a contract (they haven’t made a proposal to us since OCTOBER 21 😡) that protects the whole worker. A #HarvardonStrike 🧵:

We need a living wage! Harvard runs seminars for food stamps applications while raising housing rents by 6%, all while students are experiencing the highest inflation rates in over 40 years.

Last week, our bargaining committee (BC) announced a strike authorization vote (SAV) starting Monday, September 13th. An SAV is a membership-wide vote on whether to authorize a strike, one of our most powerful tools as a labor union.

** OUR STRIKE AUTHORIZATION VOTE WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER 15. ** Our elected bargaining committee has recommended voting in favor of strike authorization. A year after bargaining began, Harvard's administration has refused to budge on the issues most important to our members.

What if @harvard served the community it so readily extracts from? In a global pandemic? It’s the right thing to do.

The COVID-19 crisis has made it clear that we need a strong labor movement to protect the interests, health, and safety of workers. We are proud to be part of a labor movement that will push for a future with unions at the center of a democratic society.
