TONIGHT, 6PM: Strike Start GBM

Dear Student Workers,

RSVP for our GBM to decide a strike deadline!

This is a reminder that we will have a virtual General Body Meeting tonight (Wednesday), 10/20 at 6 PM EDT. This is a crucial moment for us. We will decide on a strike deadline as Columbia continues to refuse to negotiate. We encourage everyone to attend and participate! Come and invite your fellow student workers!

Hardship Fund #ColumbiaGivingDay

Please use the hashtag #ColumbiaGivingDay and ask alumni, parents, and the public at large to donate to the hardship fund linked here instead of Columbia.

Today is also this year's Giving Day. Columbia Giving Day is a 24-hour, online fundraising event that allows alumni, parents, faculty, and students to contribute to various programs and initiatives for undergraduate and graduate students.

Columbia receives many millions of dollars on Giving Day and has raised enough money in the past 5 Giving Days alone, a 5-day work week, to fund the entire cost of our union's proposal to provide workers with a living wage and adequate healthcare for the next three years. Last year’s Giving Day Columbia received $24,161,991.
 

In Solidarity, 

Your Bargaining Committee
