UMD students stand up for workers

3/8/2021

 
Saying that the University of Maryland College Park "is putting both workers and students at risk by refusing to meet with the union to bargain over basic health and safety precautions," student organizers with United Students Against Sweatshops on Friday held a banner demanding UMD President Pines bargain a contract with AFSCME Local 1072 over pandemic working conditions. "While the university has instituted new regulations such as a sequester-in-place, there were no new actions taken to further protect workers who are on the front lines of this pandemic!" said USAS Local 54. "How many students and workers need to get COVID before UMD will finally agree to keep our community safe and put people over profit? Workers need a fair union contract, which UMD can actually be held accountable to." CLICK HERE for the USAS petition.
