@allenstenhaus @civicDetroitDan I'm just hoping that my local (who also has a contract expiring in 2023) can also get a fair shake. Hoping that recent gains by other #HigherEd #Unions will help!

@benfulton My greatest fear is that, over time, we are privatizing a public good. And given the lack of training and oversight of Uber "employees ", I also worry about safety.
What would be better would be for transit agencies to get behind the notion of on-demand rides for overnight or low-volume destinations. 15 passenger vans can go a long way.

Biggest Contracts Expiring in 2023
Negotiations will take place in 2023 for some of the biggest contracts in the labor movement, including at UPS and the Big Three automakers. Workers are hoping to take advantage of a tight labor market to reverse years of concessions and win big raises to help cope with inflation. New leaders in the Teamsters, and potentially the Auto Workers (UAW), have promised to put up a more aggressive fight. UPS The Teamsters contract covering 340,000 package car drivers and warehouse workers at UPS expires July 31.
mhoyeI think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.
Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.
I want to elevate this reporting, and the work of my colleague @saragoldrickrab

Silly question from a new user: is it possible that my employer (a large public research university) is blocking access to the @union.place server? I'm not getting any new content while on Wifi... 
@echoechoR @phdstudents @academicchatter @academicsunite I'm a big fan of speeding talks up on replay. I also like having captions and the ability to pause. Trying to incorporate #EdTech into my courses where appropriate.
@kklevine No Strike clauses here in Pennsylvania for public employees have really impacted our ability to stand in solidarity with our siblings. Temple University grad students' union have votes to authorize a strike....but my faculty can't walk a picket with them without threat of discipline.
