Support Oberlin's Union Workers

The 1833 Just Transition Fund has received many thank-you messages (click here) for its assistance to union members who lost their jobs when the College outsourced 108 custodial and dining services workers. The fund was initially created by alumni last spring in response to the College’s announcement and to student activism in support of the UAW members.

Les Leopold of the Class of ’69, Executive Director of the Labor Institute, said that the donations don’t make up for the lost jobs.  “Justice for working people is very important to a large group of students, faculty, and alumni. …This is our chance to try to right that wrong, and hopefully in the future Oberlin will come back to its broader economic and racial justice roots.”
