Union organizers argue the UT administration remains beholden to a political leadership that regularly dismisses students’ and workers’ concerns.
We, the UT-Austin Organizing Committee of the Texas State Employees Union , thank you for continuing to speak truth to power. We applaud your recent decision to pause production of your podcast in response to COVID misinformation on Spotify. As you wrote,"I paused because [...] I wanted to better understand the organization's misinformation policy. I wanted to talk to the Spotify leadership about their position [and] their policies.
As the labor union for all state employees, we identify with your courageous expression. We, too, have been fighting to be heard by our leadership. Whether it's COVID safety or working conditions generally, both Texas' and UT's supposed leaders have consistently shrunk from the task at hand. Regardless of what else divides us, Texans can agree that everybody deserves a safe workplace and education.
Despite our efforts, he and other administrators refused to meet with us and the university is back to in-person teaching – with no requirement for masks or vaccinations – despite our concerns.
