🎙️📄💥STATEMENT: EMORYUNITE! SECURES LANDMARK CONTRACT WITH SUPERMAJORITY WIN

After a 10-year campaign culminating in 30 bargaining sessions over the last two years, EmoryUnite!, Emory’s PhD student union, ratified our first contract between the Union and the University. Our members overwhelmingly ratified the contract with a 97% YES vote. This contract was won by us, for us, through hundreds of conversations and thousands of hours of organizing. Read our full statement here.

💥 HISTORIC WIN! 💥

We are proud to share that a supermajority voted to adopt our first union contract! Initial counts indicate that 97% of respondents voted YES for ratification. This is a historic win for graduate workers at Emory and a testament to our collective action.

Ratification marks the start of a new chapter. Next, we turn to enforcing the agreement, building our steward network, and continuing to grow our union together. Congratulations to every member — this is our win! ✊

🚨 📣 EmoryUnite! is mobilizing in solidarity with workers under attack from devastating federal job cuts, slashed research funding, and union-busting policies.

📍🗓️ As part of the nationwide “Kill the Cuts” campaign, we’ll be joining CDC workers for a demonstration on Tuesday, April 8 at 5 PM at 1600 Clifton Rd.

💥✊🏽We urge ALL EmoryUnite! members to show up and stand with our neighbors. Our struggles are intertwined: attacks on labor rights in one sector pave the way for attacks on workers everywhere. Read on to learn more about what’s at stake, and why this fight matters to all of us.
