No academic worker at UC should struggle to feed their families and put a roof over their head. We all do essential research, and we all deal with unfair working conditions. Sign on to our shared letter to UC: https://t.co/EZadMkRgvd
A pretty striking human graph of rent burden made by UCB academic workers...
According to our bargaining survey, 90% of ASEs across the UC are rent burdened. The average ASE pays more than 50% of their income on rent!
#InvaderABCs B is for Bugula neritina! This branching #bryozoan was first described from the Mediterranean Sea (1758) & is now a cryptic species complex worldwide. It's a common fouling organism on rocks, ship hulls, marina docks, & more! https://t.co/wN9Q9ahhz0 📷 Melissa Frey
FINALLY, I've been trying to get a species name for these Antarctic "Glass Tulip" tunicates for quite awhile! Molgula pedunculata So CRAZY! #tunicateTuesday via https://t.co/FJ6d5m9qJs
Couldn't have said it better! 17,000 Student Researchers bargaining alongside 19,000 TAs, Tutors, & Readers, 6,000 Postdocs, and 5,000 Academic Researchers. 2022 will be a big year.
UC is attempting to slow down the momentum Student Researchers have built to form a union and bargain for a strong contract. Sign the petition telling UC to stop their delay and deny tactics: https://t.co/khxZdiUO21
