HUCTW stands in solidarity with protesters in the urgent fight for racial justice, equality, and human rights. As human beings, and as advocates for economic and social justice, we must commit to the eradication of racism in our communities, our country, and the wider world.
The Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program (HIRC) offers free legal advice, representation, & social service support to all Harvard community members with immigration concerns. Make a confidential appointment with the HIRC immigration attorney.
Although union negotiators have repeatedly expressed a willingness to work creatively and consider alternative approaches to address the inflation problem, management negotiators have not made a meaningful move since their last offer in January. During a difficult negotiation like this one, it is extremely important that we as HUCTW members remain strong, unified, and committed in support for our union as we fight for afair and sustainable pay program that honors our contributions to Harvard's excellence and supports a stable level of economic security for our co-workers and our families. Please do everything that you can to participate in our campaign for a fair raise.
Read MoreMarch 31, 2023 is an important deadline for three reimbursement programs open to HUCTW members: (1) Copay Reimbursement (2) Fitness Reimbursement (3) Dependent Care & Healthcare FSA Reimbursement. These programs assist members with expenses incurred during the previous (2022) calendar year. Please see more details on each program below. Also on a separate note, the HUCTW office is moving from 15 Mt Auburn St to our new address at 131 Mt Auburn St, 2nd Floor. Email is the best way to get in touch with an HUCTW organizer (either by emailing your organizer directly or writing to huctw.info@huctw.org).
Read MoreDuring the week of Feb. 14, please join your fellow members for the following activities to support a fair raise for HUCTW staff and to support our worker siblings who have publicly launched their organizing campaign for a new campus union (the Harvard Academic Workers - UAW). On Tuesday (2/14), there will be no HUCTW picketing. Instead join HAW-UAW, who will be rallying in front of the John Harvard statue from 12:00 - 1:00 and in front of Countway Library from 3:00 - 4:00! On Weds and Thurs (2/15-2/16) HUCTW members and friends will be picketing for a fair raise in front of Massachusetts Hall in Harvard Yard from 12:00 - 2:00. Come anytime between 12 and 2 on Wednesday and Thursday!
Read MoreAs mentioned in our communication earlier in January, there has been some progress in HUCTW’s pay negotiations with Harvard, but management’s salary increase offers still do not provide strong enough inflation protection. University offers for the 2022 raise are still less than most of the average 2022 pay increases of other private or unionized employers. To reach a fair pay agreement, it is critical that HUCTW members work together to keep up creative and constructive pressure on Harvard administrators. We want to encourage members to take part in the following upcoming negotiation support activities.
Read MoreHUCTW is approximately five-thousand Harvard employees of diverse backgrounds, ages, talents, and opinions. Our work supports the teaching and research at Harvard, in libraries and museums, in labs, in offices, and out in the world. Some of us are on our way to graduate school; others of us are making our careers here. We are parents, artists, students, and more. Although we may hold different views and speak in many voices, we speak together as a Union for the things that matter to us: pay and benefits, and also flexibility, work-life balance, and self-determination in the workplace.
