Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit United Students Against Sweatshops.The short explanation of this alert was: Citing budget concerns, Cornell University has been resistant to calls for a living wage in their contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers Local 2300, who represents full-time dining, grounds, and custodial workers. Cornell already pays its service workers less than peer institutions like Dartmouth, and most already earn 20% less than the yearly living wage for Tompkins County. Working people did not create this crisis and we should not have to pay for it. Support the Cornell Organization for Labor Action (COLA) and tell Cornell: pay every full-time worker a living wage and negotiate fairly with UAW Local 2300!

Sample phone script: My name is ____ and I'm a student/supporter at _____. I'm calling to express my concern that many of the workers at Cornell are not earning enough to provide for their families. I demand that you make sure Cornell lives up to its ideals and prioritizes the basic dignity of its workers by paying Cornell workers a living wage.
