Hey friends,
Summer may be over, but Middle Tennessee State University still swelters in that HOT LABOR SUMMER HEAT!
MTSU workers currently receive paychecks at an abnormally slow and uneven pace, sometimes having to wait as long as 45 days for compensation. The United Campus Workers at MTSU (Communications Workers of America Local 3865) are tired of this practice, so they’re collecting petition signatures, requesting that the university pays its workers bi-weekly—a standard practice of most employers today.
Ashton Beatty, Secretary of the Middle TN United Campus Workers, stops by The Kennel to explain the issue with the frequency of worker’s compensation at MTSU, and what the university’s chapter of the UCW is doing to solve this problem.
If you want to support MTSU’s workers in their fight for a fairer payment schedule, I urge you to sign this petition.
Anyone can sign this petition—you don’t have to be an MTSU student or faculty member! So once you’ve signed it, share it with everyone!
Thanks for listening, and thanks to Ashton for stopping by!
