Marquette University should recognize our rights as workers. Stop union busting. | Opinion

Published April 29, 2025
We believe if our institutions and values are going to survive this moment, then our institutions are going to need to not only publicly defend these values, but actively live these values both off and on campus. We believe our institutions are both places of learning and places of work.
We are reminded of the words of Pope Francis that “there are no free workers without a union.” Campus worker unionization is key to protecting the defining freedoms of higher education and the workers who embody these freedoms, teaching and supporting our students, and researching and creating new knowledge.
