| 1638240994981212165 | Today, Holloway sent a message to students stating that "the courts have ruled that strikes by public employees are unlawful in New Jersey." This is untrue.

| 1638228777670004736 | Wow. Jonathan Holloway, Prez of @RutgersU, threatens workers, noting a strike would be "unlawful" in NJ. Negotiations not going well. This is a person who wrote his PhD under the famed labor historian David Montgomery. Guess the apple fell very far from the tree. https://t.co/XdgZ7UkrDV | 62 |
| 1638228901406056450 | pretty cool to go from writing about W.E.B. Du Bois to writing cheesy scare-emails about "unlawful strikes," @RutgersU President Jonathan Holloway this is shameful & you should support workers (where did Du Bois stand, again?). we don't want to strike, we want a fair contract! https://t.co/WlqCTcoVG2 | 49 |
| 1638295403283234816 | 🧵 My union at @RutgersU voted overwhelmingly (94%) to authorize a strike.
