Ice Cream Social Was a Sweet Success!

Thank you to all the members, family, and friends who joined us for our Solidarity Ice Cream Party outside the Kerr Administration Building! It was a fantastic afternoon of sunshine, pizza, sweet treats, and solidarity. Events like these are a wonderful opportunity to connect with our union siblings from across campus in a relaxed and fun setting.

It was great to see so many faces, new and familiar, taking a well-deserved break and enjoying each other's company. We also had the chance to engage in positive conversations with several staff members from Human Resources who were walking by. We even shared some ice cream with them, building bridges and fostering a spirit of community.

Our Actions Made a Difference

The timing of our social was perfect. That same morning, leaders and members made calls to Employee and Labor Relations, urging them to meet with our executive team regarding layoff discussions. Because of our collective action, management responded and agreed to a meeting, honoring their contractual obligation. Thank you to everyone who made calls—your efforts made a real difference!

Building Power Through Community

Our union is strongest when we are connected. Social events are a key part of building the relationships and solidarity that fuel our power at the bargaining table and in the workplace. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Not a Member? What’s Holding You Back?

Becoming a member builds our collective power in difficult times. When more coworkers join, we show management that we expect fair pay, respect at work and a strong collective bargaining agreement.
