This spring, the Graduate Employee Organization representing grad workers at UMass Lowell is at the bargaining table asking the university to invest in the people who make it run.

“Our demands are clear: livable stipends, improved health benefits, subsidized housing, protections for international students, and clear processes for addressing discrimination and harassment,” GEO members wrote in an op-ed in the UML Connector. “Every union on this campus is standing with us, making the same demand—that this campus and its workers deserve more.”

🇵🇷 ¡Por primera vez en muchos años, la Constitución de la UAW está disponible en español! Este paso importante fue impulsado debido a la abogacía directa de los miles de unionados hispanohablantes de la UAW y el compromiso de la directiva de la Internacional UAW a construir una unión en la cual toda la matrícula, independientemente del idioma que hable, puede participar en nuestra organización.

“Una parte importante de construir una unión democrática significa que agrupamos gente de la clase trabajadora de toda raza, religión y origen y que aseguramos la participación equitativa de todos,” dijo Brandon Mancilla, Director de la Región 9A. "Con este paso, los seis mil unionados de la UAW tanto en Puerto Rico como los miles más en los Estados Unidos tendrán acceso a la Constitución de la UAW en su lengua materna.”

🇺🇸 For the first time in many years, the UAW Constitution is now available in Spanish! This important step was taken due to the direct advocacy of our thousands of Spanish-speaking UAW members and the commitment of the elected leadership of the UAW to build a union where all members, regardless of language spoken, can fully participate in our organization.

“Part of building a democratic union means that we unite working class people of every race, religion, and background and ensure the equal participation of all," said Brandon Mancilla, Director of UAW Region 9A. "With this step, our 6,000 UAW members in Puerto Rico and thousands more in the mainland United States will now have access to the UAW Constitution in their native language.”
