At our session Thursday August 6th, the Georgetown administration violated its commitment to protecting graduate workers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. After receiving our impact-bargaining proposals to protect graduate workers, the administration told us during a bargaining session that graduate workers do not deserve to have a voice in our health, safety, and livelihoods.
The administration is counting on our silence as they adopt policies that will increase our risk of COVID-19 exposure and threaten our jobs despite a nationwide recession. Watch our President Jewel Tomasula describe the administration’s short-sighted attempts to keep graduate workers in the dark.
By excluding our Union from policy plans that threaten our health and safety, the administration is demonstrating its disregard for our well-being. But, we know that if we organize together, we have the power to win protections that will reduce COVID-19 risks for graduate workers and ensure their job security throughout the pandemic.
The administration thinks that it isn’t “necessary” to give graduate workers a voice in their working conditions. We know differently.
