Emily is a grad worker owed weeks of back pay for teaching an additional lab this semester during a TA shortage. Emily stepped up in a crisis to make sure our students have sufficient support in the classroomāthat work deserves a timely, just pay schedule! #CutTheChecksVCU

Just hit 1 hour on the phone with @Cigna customer service. I'd love to know what their average call time is and I know they can afford better on hold music than this 30 second loop I'm trapped in
