Last fall, we submitted 1600 union cards. 2 weeks ago, IU said we aren't workers. Today, hundreds of us occupied their offices while grading, teaching, lesson planning, & researching -- precisely the work that IU runs on. We again call on IU to voluntarily recognize our union.

IU can't manage to find $500k a student newspaper, something that enhances the experience of any media school But they can definitely hire a bunch administrators to do... well no one knows what they do exactly but their average pay is over 200k and there's almost 200 of them.

. @IUBloomington determined the cost-of-living in Bloomington is $21,000. ... then said they'd pay us $18,000 ($3,000 below the cost-of-living)🙃 ... and keep charging us $1,500 to work for them🙃 This leaves grad workers at $4,500 below the cost-of-living.

Why do we need a union? Because IU administration has proven that they will not listen to us otherwise. One of our core issues on our platforms is to protect and expand benefits for reasons like this. Health insurance should not cost more than your salary.

. @IUBloomington charged Grad Workers the entire $1,400 stimulus check (or more) in fees during a pandemic. We teach 25%+ of IU courses, TA, lead labs, mentor students & provide other critical labor at IU. We shouldn't have to pay to work. We shouldn't have to scrape to get by.
