The people who make our schools run are routinely exploited: often, they face 90-hour work weeks divided among two or three jobs; they face days and months without seeing their children or spouses; they face medical emergencies without health care; and they face evictions and homelessness. No one should face these circumstances. Workers are fighting back, and we're there to support them. USAS organizes campaigns that seek to improve wages for campus workers, be it a contract negotiation fight, an organizing drive, a living wage campaign, or any other student-worker campaign. National campaigns for USAS's Campus Community Solidarity work include:

• Right to Organize campaign: Demanding our campuses adopt the Campus Labor Codce of Conduct to stop union-busting on our campuses and ensure that campus workers can access their right to form unions and collectively bargain in an environment free from intimidation and harassment.
• Campus Living Wage campaign: fighting side-by-side with campus workers for better wages, decent working conditions, and organizing rights by demanding living wage policies from our administrations

Students at dozens of campuses including Washington University at St. Louis, Georgetown University, University of Tennesee - Knoxville, University of Mary Washington, Vanderbilt University, Swarthmore College, Oberlin College, George Washington University, the University of Maryland-College Park, the University of Minnesota, and Yale University, have won tremendous victories for campus workers in the form of fair collective bargaining agreements, union recognition, and comprehensive healthcare benefits packages. Students and workers organizing together build powerful solidarity, and campus living wage campaigns to end poverty wages can be a moral force to resist the corporatization of education and the exploitation of workers.
