My amazing faculty colleagues at The Pennsylvania State University have just WON our vote to form a labor union!

The vote was historic: the biggest vote in education in Pennsylvania history. Now 5,000 plus of us are part of SEIU local 668!

Initial reports are that we won with 75% of the vote. Three to one.

We are unionizing to ensure investment in education and educators. A union lets all faculty members bring the best they have to offer university community.

#Giants Abdul Carter watched as Arvell Reese ā€˜popped off the screen’ against his #PennState. Thats why he wanted to be teammates.

ā€˜How physical he plays, that’s going to be real helpful for us.ā€

Exclusive | One dominant Arvell Reese game sold Abdul Carter on his future Giants teammate

Even with Penn State blood running through his veins, Abdul Carter couldn’t help but respect the Ohio State linebacker who ā€œpopped off the screenā€ against his alma mater in a rivalry game.

If there are any #PennState folks in the #fediverse - our DSA chapter is launching a Save Addison Court campaign. Addison Court is an affordable housing complex in downtown State College that is home to dozens of elderly, disabled, and low income community members. The owners want to sell and/or turn it into student housing instead.

Help us save it by spreading the word!
