## Resource

Georgia’s public university workers are being forced back to the office on salaries that haven’t kept pace with inflation. Today, leaders from UCW-CWA Local 3821 join us to discuss how they are building worker power through direct action and legislative advocacy—even without a contract. Discover how the ”Defend Remote Work” campaign is fighting back against a mandate that functions as a pay cut for Georgia’s essential campus staff.
