While we were all shoveling our driveways, Academic Student Employees at @UA_System filed to form a #Union and requested voluntary recognition from President Pitney!

Georgia State AFL-CIO:

VICTORY! 💪

Tonight, Georgia voters rejected the hand-picked candidate of extremists and billionaires and instead embraced @ReverendWarnock‘s record in support of working people. His values are union values and that’s why he’s returning to the U.S. Senate. #1u pic.twitter.com/fMr0kAEbd4
