Tufts RAs now have the certified right to collectively bargain over their wages, working conditions, job responsibilities, schedules, and more. We are proud to have won with such overwhelming support and are excited to take the next step in negotiating our contract. For now, we'll take our finals and go home for the holidays knowing we are making a huge difference: not just for ourselves, but for the RAs in every year to come.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged us along the way. Solidarity!

If you're an RA at Tufts, don't forget to take five minutes to vote. We'll be able to vote YES on our union anytime between 12-3pm Wednesday, December 14th. The ballot box will be in the Alumnae Lounge of Aidekman. No need to bring anything: just yourself.

On Wednesday, November 16th, we received an email on behalf of the administration of Tufts University with the decision to decline our request for voluntary recognition. By declining our petition, Tufts failed in its obligation to student workers and to its community.
