Let’s continue this wave of activism on college campuses to improve our working conditions #Unionize #Unions #Solidarity #AcademicWorkers #HigherEd #WorkersRights https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/university-california-strike-adjuncts/

Around the world, students and staff are protesting low-salaries, heavy workloads leading to overwork and burnout, job insecurity, pay-cuts, neo-managerial evaluation and the climate of fierce competition in third-party funding for research projects.

for most #academicworkers #academia is unstable work.

Just read the email: with 89.4% of YES votes, postdocs at UC have agreed to ratify the tentative agreement for the new contract!
It’s definitely not the perfect contract (it’s the result of a compromise, after all) but it’s a big improvement over the status quo. Now I wish to see similar results for my grad student colleagues!
I’m glad I was (a small) part of this strike, and I hope this will lead the way for other institutions and ultimately bring real change to the system!

@acababble #Solidarity to my fellow #AcademicWorkers in the UK: we all fight for the same rights of fair wages and living conditions #UCUstrike #FairUCnow #UnionStrong

The largest #Strike in #HigherEd history is happening right now and sets an expectation of fair wages for all #AcademicWorkers #UnionStrong #Solidarity #UAWonstrike #FairUCnow https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/largest-strike-higher-ed-uc

For all of his talk about big corporations taking advantage of workers and the need for unions, Robert Reich is silent about #AcademicWorkers, especially #UAWonStrike for #FairUCNow - where he works.

With #UCAFT comrades at the #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike undergraduate solidarity rally at the Campanile. The solidarity is beautiful and joyful. Here’s to fair contracts for #AcademicWorkers!

The University of California graduate student workers go on #strike Monday. I'm inspired by 48,000 academic workers pushing for fair pay. The UC depends on these workers to meet its mission statement: to educate the people of the State of California.

I've cancelled my undergraduate course this week to respect the picket. On Tuesday, I will offer a teach-in on the strike instead.

There are two important links for Senate Faculty to examine by Monday:

1. This FAQ put out by the Council of UC Faculty Associations, which describes various measures you can take to meaningfully support striking #UAW #academicworkers.

https://cucfa.org/2022/11/faqs-for-senate-faculty-about-uaw-strike/

2. Faculty Resources for the Strike. Use this document to think about how you can support the strikers, and check out the fantastic teach-in materials linked within!

Hey #UCAFT members - check out our UAW Strike Solidarity Guidance: https://ucaft.org/content/uaw-strike-solidarity-guidance
It covers what we can and cannot do while under contract, and has advice for navigating the potential strike from a position of solidarity.

36,558 UC grad students, post docs, and researchers voted to go on strike. A really powerful statement and a testament to organizing. This is huge for #AcademicWorkers. https://twitter.com/CaliforniaLabor/status/1588026210558394370?s=20&t=HURvd19dE97Utl4V0X4N6g
