IGWC-UE: Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition + @ueunion ⚡️ at IU Bloomington. #UnionYES #HigherEdWorksBecauseWeDo

Joined August 2019
Grad workers distributed 500 union newspapers to every major department at IU! The paper outlines the rising cost of living, deteriorating working conditions, and funding/program cuts across the university, and IGWC organizing past and present to fight it. Read a copy ↓↓

New dispatch from graduate workers at Dartmouth College on their 2024 strike of STEM researchers, which lasted two months and won unprecedented gains while confounding received wisdom on STEM culture and organizing.

Grad workers have a unique role to play in fighting back against the austerity measures universities are implementing across the country. Solidarity with our neighbors in Indiana!

If any national media or subterranean podcast sickos want to cover the state government nuking 116 degree programs at IU, our DMs are open 👀

Anyone else ever notice these new admin positions always show up at the same time as cuts to grad programs? Probably nothing

Our state government wants to disempower IU alumni with no discussion and debate. They don’t just want a majority, they want unanimity—and is there anything left they won’t destroy to get it? Democracy always and everywhere belongs to those who think differently.
Gov. Mike Braun could remove and replace alumni-elected members of Indiana University’s Board of Trustees at any time in provisions of the state’s budget bill introduced quietly Wednesday night by the Republican majority. ▶ @aubreymwright indianapublicmedia.org/news/…

LETTER: In this unprecedented time, Indiana University must choose to take a stand, as it once taught me, to safeguard its students, ensuring we can speak freely without fear of retribution. idsnews.com/article/2025/04/…

We’re appalled to hear the visas of several graduate workers have been revoked. We are working now to ensure IU does everything within its power to protect them and all other international grad workers. We will raise hell to protect our grad workers

The UE officers have released a statement denouncing the arrest, detainment and threatened deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent legal resident of the U.S., in retaliation for his peacefully speaking out on political issues. 1/7
