Let’s Talk Union Myths... University administrations often spread misinformation about unions to keep power in their own hands. The truth is simple: unions make our universities stronger for faculty, staff, and students alike. Have questions? Send us a DM.

Labor Day isn’t just a long weekend — it’s a reminder of what working people have won together. From the 8-hour workday to workplace safety standards, none of it was handed down from above. Workers organized, struck, and fought until justice moved forward. #LaborDay #UnionStrong

💬 Rumors and misinformation don’t spread by accident. Administrations know that if we believe unions are weak, unnecessary, or divisive, we’ll be less likely to organize together. ✊ When we set the record straight, we defend each other from isolation and mistreatment.

📚 Did you know? Your “just cause” rights under the CBA don’t just require Temple to prove you did something wrong—they also limit the penalties management can impose. ⚠️ Remember: You have the right to union representation in any meeting that could lead to discipline.
