At every turn, President Trump has tried to extort American universities to do his bidding. His new "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" is the next phase of his plan.
Sign this petition and tell the University of Alaska Board of Regents not to sign this bogus contract!

Reject the Federal Higher Education Compact to Maintain UA’s Autonomy
The new federal Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education mandates that universities surrender their autonomy and give control of key authorities, such as hiring, curriculum, research, and student enrollment to the U.S. Federal Government, which is contrary to the Alaska Constitution. As stakeholders in the University of Alaska system, we are writing to preemptively request that the UA Board of Regents reject the opportunity to sign the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.

A union is the #1 tool workers have to level the playing field.
When fewer workers are in a union, the billionaire class puts more and more money in their own pockets.
The only effective answer to organized greed is organized labor! ✊

Since the 1970s, there has been a significant increase in the gap between worker productivity and wages. In other words, workers are becoming more efficient and not benefiting from the rise in their productivity.

Right-to-work laws are about as anti-worker as they come. They do nothing but lower wages and jeopardize the safety of workers.

The Juneau School District claims it "closed" its afterschool program. However, it is also continuing the program under the same name, with the same hours, same price, and same locations, using a third-party contractor. All while claiming that it is not contracting out. 🤔
