This evening!!

Sign and show solidarity with Taubman College Workers ✊

The Architecture Lobby Solidarity! Here are striking international grads picketing at Taubman College right this moment. Their chants are streaming into the architecture studios.

This is leadership

"We all like architecture and want to be architects, so we would like that to be possible." Amazing look inside the only private sector union of architectural workers in the U.S. urbanomnibus.net/2023/05/an-ext…

I think this captures really well what a lot of people misunderstand about labor organizing. People don’t unionize because they hate their jobs and want to get out of them. They unionize because they find value in their work and want to do it well, to do it safely & sustainably.

Architecture and Planning faculty join calls for UMich to stop suing us in court and just pay us a living wage. “We also stand by all members of our college who withhold grades and we will collectively and strenuously oppose any effort to sanction instructors who have done so.”

All Solidarity With Snøhetta Workers!

Workers at the prominent architecture and design firm Snohetta have just filed for a union election. Would be a huge step forward in unionizing the industry. x.com/arch_workers_u…

This is enraging and disappointing on so many levels. Architecture needs not to look for different genius stars but rather dismantle the notion that idolized individuals design and build anything at all on their own. ft.com/content/1a03a1…

Tough news from Snøhetta, but the fight for a more equitable profession isn’t over. All love and solidarity to the workers.
