In a win for research and research workers, the Trump administration has abandoned its attempt from February 2025 to unilaterally cap indirect costs at 15%, which would have cut billions from research budgets overnight. In January, a federal appeals court upheld a lower court ruling to block the cap, and the Trump admin failed to appeal that decision by the deadline.

The UAW supported this legal effort by filing an amicus brief and providing declarations of impacted members.

This week, a federal judge sided with UAW members by blocking the Department of Homeland Security from limiting F-1 and J-1 visas to only four years.

While the fight isn’t over, this major win is thanks to the power of hundreds of thousands of union members coming together!

Unionized faculty and staff at Pioneer Valley Performing Arts are currently in negotiations that will have major impacts on all members and the community they serve.

“PVPA’s faculty and staff are currently engaged in negotiations with the school’s administration and the Board of Trustees for a new collective bargaining agreement. Throughout this process, our priorities have centered on something we know matters to all of us who are invested in PVPA’s future: making PVPA a school where talented educators and staff can come, stay, and build sustainable careers.

Two issues have become particularly important in these negotiations: fair compensation and the preservation of our existing paid-time-off structure.

We therefore call upon PVPA’s administration and leadership to work with us toward a contract that:

1. Provides meaningful and competitive wage increases that strengthen PVPA’s ability to recruit and retain excellent teachers and staff;

2. Preserves our current PTO structure and recognizes the importance of sustainable working conditions for employees;

3. Prioritizes long-term staff retention so that students benefit from experienced educators, continuity, and strong relationships with the adults in their school community;

4. Recognizes investment in faculty and staff as an investment in students and in the academic and artistic excellence that defines PVPA; and

5. Engages in good-faith bargaining toward a fair and sustainable agreement that allows PVPA employees to continue doing the work to which we have devoted ourselves.”

Sign and share PVPA-UAW’s open letter to show support for these members’ very reasonable demands.

To PVPA Families, Alumni, and Members of Our Greater Community: The faculty and staff of the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School (PVPA) are deeply committed to PVPA and to the students and families we serve. We believe profoundly in the mission of this school and in the unique educa...
