flag Over 500 Penn grad students protested for fair contracts, citing stalled talks on wages, protections, and working conditions.

flag Over 500 Penn graduate students and supporters rallied on October 8 in a picket demanding fair contract terms, collecting strike pledges amid stalled negotiations with the university. flag The union, GET-UP-UAW, accused Penn of delays and inadequate proposals after nearly a year of bargaining, while the university circulated a memo advising instructors on maintaining teaching continuity during a potential strike. flag The AAUP-Penn chapter condemned the memo as "strikebreaking," warning it undermines academic integrity and could discourage unionization. flag The dispute centers on wages, protections—especially for international students—and working conditions, with both sides emphasizing their commitment to academic continuity and fair resolution.
