One month ago, we announced our labor union, UCW-VCU. We had 50 members then. Today, we’re over 100 members. We’re building a workers organization that stands for #TheVCUWeDeserve — high quality education, respect on the job, & democracy.

Our announcement received lots of media coverage and support from progressive political leaders.
