I stand in solidarity with my fellow academic workers and union members who were arrested and jailed for union activity, including chalking a sidewalk. UCSD, this screams of retaliation for the UC strike last fall #Strike #Solidarity #Academic #Union #UCStrike #UCSD #DropTheCharges #UAW https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/labor-unionization/2023/07/07/uc-unions-chalk-markers-led-felony-vandalism

Happens every time, but most of y'all either love it (you're business/colonial unionists) or you hate those who call out oppression more than you hate oppression itself. 🤷🏿‍♀️

LOL 😂 UC.. How about you pay your postdocs a living wage instead of wasting resources on things like this?

Thread on the #ucstrike

This Fall four different bargaining units at the University of California were went through collective bargaining with the UC, culminating in a month-long strike.

I'm both a postdoc and a lecturer, and I took part in some of the initial research and proposals for the postdocs back in 2020 (yes, the bargaining for postdocs dragged on 18 months), but I was not as involved once I started teaching in Fall 2021.

UC strike ends as student workers approve new contracts

The #ucstrike has ended and yet I feel little relief... and little has in fact changed for my graduate student workers... but it is now time to work on those final grades somehow! wish me luck!!

More involvement and more solidarity is a good thing.
But it’s dispiriting to hear that ASEs outside of the SF Bay Area and LA felt that a geographically unequal COLA was worth a No vote. Firefighters unions are accustomed to the reality of local price level differences, just ask members who serve in Silicon Valley

Damn. I was excited to see the #UCStrike end, but then started reading from members who voted “no” on it. The contact left out lots of protections for disabled, BIPOC, and international student workers. https://twitter.com/TRAILSANDWAYS/status/1604218242049769473

Wow! Well done #ucstrike

Hallelujah! Yesterday brought an end to the #ucstrike with an affirmative vote by ASE’s

With the two remaining contracts ratified, the six-week long #UCStrike has come to an end. https://www.berkeleyside.org/2022/12/23/uc-strike-ends

Both SRU and 2865 have just voted to ratify -- the #ucstrike is over! ASEs have a new contract, and SRs have our first contract!

Berkeley UAW apparently endorsing the No vote.

Vote “No” on UAW-backed sellout deal! Build rank-and-file committees to expand and win the #UCstrike!
„The UAW and the corporate media treat the TA as a done deal. But now we will have our say. The first step is for striking workers to mobilize on social media and in other venues to get out the largest “No” vote possible. This means opposing the efforts of the UAW bureaucracy to use lies and intimidation to sell this rotten deal.“

My entire newsfeed on twitter was about the #UCstrike and it's not even a hashtag on here. Help? Where are the strike organizers? #fairUCnow

While I'm on a #UCStrike kick, here's an LA Times article offering some insight on the tentative agreement for grads.

I stand in solidarity with UC rank and file who vote NO on this inadequate offer, and so should all workers who want living wages and fair working conditions. This was the biggest education strike in our nation’s history, and UC is offering a bare minimum to get it to end. They have so much more to offer #Solidarity #FairUCNow #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #UAWOnStrike #UCStrike #StrikeToWin
