UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Labor and Community is pleased to host a two-day workshop on the growing labor movement in higher education. This event aims to bring together worker-organizers to share insights, lessons, strategic perspectives, organizing models, questions, and challenges from our various struggles.
Across the United States and beyond, academic workers are unionizing and taking strike action in staggering numbers. Since 2013, over 120 new faculty union chapters have won recognition. Last year, amidst the largest academic worker strike in history, graduate student-workers at nearly a dozen institutions filed for union election.
We will be joined by Carolina Bank Muñoz (CUNY), Ian Gavigan (Rutgers), Jamie Woodcock (University of Essex), Roberto Mozzachiodi (Goldsmiths), Barry Eidlin (McGill), and more!
Registration is free – Join us!
