Our signing bonus was not in our checks this morning and many of our members had rent due today and are still short. We will be launching our aid fund later today - UPI members check your non GSU email. To all our supporters, please consider donating. We will take care of us.

🚨 Mutual aid alert 🚨 GSU employees woke up to almost half their checks missing this morning with no warning for participating in a strike. Please retweet widely. #UPIStrong #GSUStrong gofundme.com/f/help-strikin…



The process for earning time back presented by GSU is cumbersome and insulting, requiring pages and pages of evidence and documentation to prove we worked the hours were saying we did.


We have now gotten half way through the pay period where we were to make up missed hours & just got guidance from HR - some of us put in extra hours during the last pay period where we had a cut check, but are just now finding out what counts and what doesn’t #GovState


Take a wild guess. Do you think we got guidance yet on how to make up to 60% of lost wages?

To reiterate: Brown is trying to impose wage tiers, with lower pay for grads on fellowship (i.e. outside the bargaining unit). They are backtracking on old promises because they hate the fact they have to actually bargain with their employees. This is why we organize!

Former GLO president @rithika_ram gives a testimonial about the admin’s promises not to introduce wage differentials during our negotiations in 2019 and 2020.

“Solidarity doesn’t mean that we agree on everything, but it means we have a common goal! We can come together and talk about it. We're all trying to reach the same goal in different ways. We can merge those different ways and make it work!” Pauline Mims, Local 276, Region 8


Going on day 3 since we were told HR would provide guidance on earning back time. The party line is to blame the union for the delay, this is not true. The ball is and always has been in HRs court. Attempts to vilify union leadership are divisive and cynical.


UPI members who had their pay cut after going on strike - check your emails for a link to the aid fund. Fill out ASAP. Funds will be dispersed in the coming days. There is also a section on the form to request needed items (eg detergent, household/baby items) from other members.

On May Day, a reminder that fighting for workers' rights also means fighting for workplace COVID protections like sick pay, ventilation, free PPE, and more.

We at @hgsuuaw are fighting for a mid-contract wage increase because rent burden doesn’t wait for contract expiration. Harvard keeps raking in unrestricted donor dollars. We believe that money belongs to working people. actionnetwork.org/petitions/fair…

Good morning to our siblings in @gsocuaw who are demanding $1.3m in back wages today at 2:30 and to our siblings in @AAUPTNS, @UAW7902, and across the New School who are joining us at 3:30, and to ourselves rallying at 3:00.

Help striking faculty & staff at Governors State with @UPI4100atGSU! GSU admin’s actions are unacceptable, mirroring what we’ve seen with @TUGSA_6290 and @geo3550 Workers didn’t receive their full paychecks today, but still need to pay rent, obviously. gofund.me/f5d5580d


We found out today the earliest we will be compensated with our signing bonus is May 15. UPI members are being forced to go without for two whole weeks. No other Illinois university did this to their employees. No hardship assistance is being offered in the short term.
