VICTORY AT GEORGETOWN!

 

We Won at Georgetown!

After 3 years of campaigning, 9 days of hunger striking, and 270 pounds
lost, Georgetown University has agreed to pay a living wage to all
campus employees - both directly hired and outsourced!  

The university also reaffirmed the right to organize and freedom of
association for all workers, and agreed to equal pay for equal work and
equal access to resources for all workers serving the Georgetown
community. 

The full policy can be found on Georgetown's website at

Thank you so much to everyone who provided support throughout this
campaign, in particular the AFL-CIO and the Metropolitan Washington
Central Labor Council.  This victory would not have been possible for
your solidarity. 

Congratulations to the workers and students at Georgetown!
