Our Statement:

We are Student Union Solidarity, an organization made up of RISD students standing in solidarity with the Groundskeepers, Movers, Custodial staff, and Teamsters 251 in their fight for a liveable wage. Our primary objective is to support our unionized staff in their pursuit of fair wage while holding our institution responsible for educating and maintaining a safe and stable community. We demand a fair and honest negotiation with full financial transparency from RISD Administration and Local Teamsters 251. We hope by mobilizing our collective strengths and voices, we will be able to make real positive change for our workers.

With Love + In Solidarity,

Student Union Solidarity
