VIGIL FOR COLOMBIA 🕯✊💘
.
.
The GTFF supports and endorses a Vigil for Colombia organized by some of our rank-and-file members. Please come and show solidarity with the victims of police brutality and state repression against protesters in the midst of the national strike mobilizations in Colombia. There will be music, an altar, and speakers who can give more context and history of the struggles in Colombia which lead to this current crisis. It is absolutely essential for our solidarity to be an international project and to provide space for collective mourning and grief with our Colombian peers, students, and community members.

Please bring flowers and candles for the altar. We will be outside of University Hall (formerly Deady Hall) this Sunday May 9 at 7pm PDT. Be sure to mask up 😷and practice social distancing ⬅️➡️while at the event. Stunning photograph by Evelin Velásquez. You can find more of her work evelinessesvelev or @eve_lin_evelin.

Today we're highlighting Ai-Jen Poo, a visionary labor organizer who catalyzed a worker-led labor movement to secure equal rights and fair wages for domestic and private-household workers.

As founder and lead organizer of Domestic Workers United, Poo faced an uphill battle to fight for the rights of domestic workers, who have been excluded from collective bargaining and workplace protections. Under her leadership, a broad coalition of domestic workers, their employers, and other unions pushed for the enactment of eight state Domestic Workers Bills of Rights and won federal overtime and minimum wage protections for over two million domestic workers.

More recently, Poo co-founded the organization SuperMajority to train and mobilize a multiracial, intergenerational community to fight for gender equity. She currently leads the Caring Across Generations campaign to unite home care workers and elders in need of long-term care.

The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (AFT Loca

The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (AFT Local 3544) stands in solidarity with striking graduate workers at New York University and their union, the Graduate Student Organizing Committee-United Auto Workers Local 2110 (GSOC-UAW Local 2110).

We strongly support their demands for living wages, better healthcare and childcare access, support for international students, and protection from harassment, and call on the NYU administration to agree to a fair contract for graduate workers immediately.

The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (AFT Loca

The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation (AFT Local 3544) expresses solidarity with the striking faculty members at Oregon Institute of Technology. We are proud that former GTFF leaders Ellen Kress and Malori Musselman are part of this effort as organizers with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

GTFF urges the OIT administration to negotiate in good faith and agree to a contract that provides fair wages, benefits, and workload limits for faculty. We also call on community members and political representatives to show support on the picket line for these faculty members and their union, the Oregon Tech-AAUP.

Concerned about having to take a sick day for your COVID vaccine? You can talk to your supervisor in advance about preemptively calling in sick. You can also use your paid sick time if the morning of a class or the morning of your research you're feeling ill and you cannot go in. If you're asked to substitute a class because of a COVID-19 vaccination or for any other reason, you are entitled to compensation for that substitution.
