Petition in solidarity with Princeton University Contract Workers

In March 2020, immediately after the first lockdown, nearly 50 contract workers at Princeton University were furloughed without pay. The actual number is likely to be higher: the University has refused to make the numbers public.

Contract workers have received zero pay since March.

We stand in solidarity with our fellow workers. We support them in calling on the University to fulfill its moral obligations to every member of the University community, and to guarantee that workers who speak out are not in any way retaliated against. We urge you to show your support by signing the petition below!
