Rally for University WorkersThe George Washington University (GWU) administration has repeatedly disregarded its responsibility for the people who keep the university running. As the second largest employer in the District of Columbia, GWU must set the standard for workers' rights in Washington.
From housekeepers to dining service workers, parking workers to professors, nearly every worker on GWU's campus has been struggling for a living wage, affordable health care, respect on the job, and the right to join and keep a union. Students are demanding that GWU put workers' rights in writing and adopt a code of conduct. Additionally, students are demanding that the university affiliate with the Worker Rights Consortium, to help ensure that GWU's logo apparel is not made in sweatshops.
Rally to demand that the university adopt a code of conduct that covers the rights of all GWU workers, including direct, contracted and subcontracted employees, on Monday, March 29, at noon, at the GWU Administration Building (Rice Hall; 2121 I St. NW). For more information, send an e-mail.
