Last Wednesday was amazing!

Local 34 members elected a phenomenal group of leaders at the membership meeting.

Afterward, we joined other union and community members to march for strong contracts, good jobs, organizing rights, youth opportunities, and safe streets. 2,000 people attended the event.

During the rally Dana Greene, a senior administrative assistant in the School of Public Health, told the massive crowd: “I’m here with my fellow co-workers to say that we would like to work with Yale to change the job advancement process to make promotions and career pathways clearer.” According to Local 34 contract surveys, over 90% of our members want to move up at Yale.

The membership meeting, march, and rally last week were important parts of winning a strong contract, and they could not have happened without the participation and leadership of so many of our members. Let’s continue to stand together, and let the University know that we’re ready to go forward!
