This is what a neutral grievance procedure and collective action through our union looks like, and it works. Congratulations Sandra and @UAW5810!

Today we joined @CPWUAW to deliver an open letter to the President's office signed by the majority of workers in our unions. The letter calls on the university to agree to fair union contracts that include #RealRecourse for discrimination and harassment.
