We know that, as a result of our new national context, our union members and W&M community are afraid and worried about the increasing dangers many of us will face over the coming years. We believe that our union is an important vehicle to resist the country’s lurch to the right.

Students, faculty, and staff are gearing up for Lobby Day 2025!
Each year UCWVA members rally at the VA General Assembly in our state capital of Richmond to meet with legislators to discuss issues that are important to our coworkers, our students, and our community.
... in Williamsburg and Virginia more broadly. Building our power as workers is not merely about improving the lives of university workers alone, it is about increasing our capacity to defend our friends and neighbors. Alone the problems we face are insurmountable but together..

"I think VCU just needs to put its heels in the ground, this is what the faculty wants, this is what the students want and this is what we're going to do."

We love to see our local reps out speaking directly with workers! We are fighting for the schools Virginia students deserve. That serves all of us.

“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining.” - MLK Jr.
