Let's change the trajectory of WGU together
In today’s town hall, our president cited studies about how remote work is inherently bad for employee mental health. He did not cite sources.
We acknowledge that some workers benefit from in-person work.
We also acknowledge that it is unfair to paint all workers with the same broad brush. We have done our own research, which demonstrates that there is more nuance to this discussion than what was shared.

After making this claim, we were given a one-time bonus. As you know, bonuses rarely come from the goodness of an employer’s heart.
They know we are upset. They know we are talking to each other. They know we’re organizing.
They offered a bonus because they know that will reduce some of the heat directed at them.
That is worker power.
If we can accomplish that just with the threat of organizing, what do you think we can accomplish if we actually stand together and demand better from them?
The best way to have a say in the changes that WGU claims to want is to come together and build a collective voice through organizing.
