Dear Friends, Family & Neighbors,
Here's a little known fact.
Hawaii State law prevents Academic Labor United from negotiating fair wages and benefits for more than 1,000 University of Hawaii graduate assistants. Why shouldn't they have the same labor rights as many other campus employees and professors do?
The University must be a place of values where equality and access set the foundation for all to write their own success story. College education should be attainable for all regardless of ability to pay. Those who teach, grade and perform other educator duties should be able to organize, bargain and unite their voices.
