For the first time in the history of Rutgers University, all three faculty, grad, EOF, and postdoc unions have voted to go on strike. Monday morning, we are ON STRIKE. See you on the picket line. #RUOnStrike
Good Morning @RutgersU! Its day 284 w/o a contract but it is also DAY ONE ON STRIKE! We are moved & motivated by the huge show of action & support from members, students, coworkers and partners in the community. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG & WE WILL WIN a #FairContractNow! #RUOnSTRIKE
Good Morning @RutgersU. It’s day 287 w/o a contract & STRIKE DAY 4! We are one big union but today we highlight the TIRELESS efforts of grads who are the heartbeat of the organizing that made this possible. This university runs on Grad labor and so does this STRIKE!
Good morning @RutgersU We have reached a tentative framework for a contract & the strike is *suspended while a TA is finalized. The wins that will come in this contract are owed to the amazing & powerful work of member organizers on the ground. You all deserve a restful weekend🙌
We have declared an historic strike - starting tomorrow morning Monday 4/10 #WeROnStrike
We look forward to standing on the picket lines with you!!
Here’s where to be tomorrow morning!

Good morning @RutgersU! It’s Day 285 without a contract and DAY 2 of the STRIKE! We are feeling excited to head back to the picket line! See you out there!
Devastated by the news of the death of our dear colleague, friend and union comrade, Distinguished Professor Cheryl Wall, who helped advance our fight for race and gender equity at @RutgersU Cheryl Wall, presente! 😭
We are speechless at the solidarity shown by our students and we look forward to having you on the picket lines with us. Our fight is for your future, too.
I will not be going to class while the @ruaaup is on strike. Rutgers students have an important part to play in ensuring the success of the faculty strike, and we must do everything in our power to support the union. #rutgersstrike
