Going to my first #CFT convention this weekend. I predict a mixture of inspiration and frustration, but probably more love than a normal conference.

Do I have enough #UCAFT gear to wear every day?

Out at California Hall at #Berkeley with #UAW2865 #UAW5810 and #UCAFT to tell UC to stop the cuts and blaming workers for austerity. Stop the enrollment cuts!! #RejectAusterity #NeoliberalUniveristy

@pnlha @athena when #UCAFT gets a new logo we’ll open up shop!

Today and tomorrow the #UCAFT teachers at the #LabSchool at #UCLA are on strike over UC’s unfair labor practices in their refusal to bargain the full side letter. This article from @losangelestimes really communicates what the teachers and the caregivers are fighting for - a really special school that’s being turned into something hollow due to management.

Hey #union folks - can you help me figure out if there are any #UnionMade #pencils in the US?

I want to get some custom pencils for #UCAFT and would naturally prefer if they were made in a union shop.

I know #MusgravePenicls does custom orders, but I don't think their workers are unionized.

After today’s long (but productive and affirming) #UCAFT council meeting, I biked over to the print shop to make some prints.

I pulled the joshua tree plate and for whatever reason, this is what happened.

Listen to nothing.
Be still.

Me: Maybe I’ve gone too far in union activism?

Also me: let’s print a bunch of #UCAFT posters

🙃 :solidarity:

Whoa. #UCAFT #UCLibrarians had their first contract bargaining session on December 7, 1983! And the academic and professional status was a huge issue. Somethings never change. Now you know. #UnionStrong

I’m trying to figure out an easy way to let any #UCAFT member who wants one to order a satin jacket.

This morning #UCAFT President Katie Rodger sent #UC President #MichaelDrake this letter raising questions about the impossible tasks lecturers face in finishing the term without GSI and to settle the #FairUCNow strike.

No strike clauses are a major obstacle, but we still stand in solidarity with #UAWOnStrike

Tomorrow 11:30am- #Berkeley faculty (and librarians) show up for #FairUCNow. Standing in solidarity with #UAWOnStrike.
