ALL OUT FOR THE REGENTS ROMP!
Dec 14th. 9:30AM. UCLA.
Hold the line with @tmorello and academic workers on strike. #UAWonStrike #FairUCnow

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

With a vote of 89.4% voting YES for Postdocs, and a vote of 79.5% YES for Academic Researchers… WE HAVE NEW CONTRACTS! #FairUCNow

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

GOOD MORNING UC REGENT JANET REILLY: We are giving you a wake up call to let you know @UofCalifornia is asleep at the wheel! They need to show some leadership in negotiations and they need to do it now!

[UAW 2865 – Riverside @uaw2865UCR]

Hey, ho, that’s not fair! UC needs to learn to share! 🎶

Parent workers and families joined us on the picket line this afternoon for a march to tell the UC: 1, 2, 3, 4, parent workers need support! #FairUCNow

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Gated, private islands can’t keep us out! Our amphibious strike brigade set sail for the the moated isle of @UCIrvine mega donor Donald Bren this morning.

Donald, call @UCPrezDrake and tell him you wanted your money to help the workers, not the Chancellors!!

UCSF workers are not waiting around for fair contracts. It's Week 4 and we are out of the labs and into the streets, shutting it down. #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Our occupation of the UC Office of the President has moved from the lobby to a conference room. No business as usual until we win fair contracts! #UAWonStrike #FairUCnow

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Breaking - Workers sitting in at the UC Office of the President have been told they are under arrest. #UAWonStrike

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

Workers at UCSF Weill Neurosciences Building & Genentech Hall are fed up with UC’s continued failure to make a serious offer on wages for grad workers.
Where is the leadership at @UofCalifornia to reach fair agreements?
#FairUCnow #UAWonStrike

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

Massive sit-in at UCSF, wrapping around every floor of Genentech Hall. #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow #ShutitDown

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

Listen to that echo! #WakeUpUC time to settle fair contracts!

I was supposed to be at UCLA all day today for an AAPI Policy Summit. But, @AAPILegCaucus & organizers decided to cancel in solidarity with the @uaw2865 workers on strike. We will not cross a picket line and will not be holding events where we’d be asking others to do the same!

[Aviva Fields @AvivaMB]

@latimes Why not investigate UC's false claims?

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

.@UofCalifornia told the LA Times their compensation proposal would make grad workers 'the highest paid among comparable public and private institutions.'

We ran the numbers - That's a bold-faced lie. UC's proposals are uniquely low. @UofCalifornia can do better.

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

We ran into Chancellor Khosla and asked him to call President Drake and tell him to exercise some leadership to settle fair contracts. Instead, he called the police.

Even our Lego graduate student is rent-burdened #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

In a move that helps 48,000 striking graduate workers, state officials in California file 7 complaints against UC, saying it didn't bargain in good faith. They accuse UC of withholding information from its employees & changing their pay without negotiating

I talked with the LA Times last night about being a parent at UC and why the @UAW5810 strike is so important:

I stand in strong solidarity with the 48,000 academic workers at the University of California who are on strike for higher wages, better child care benefits, and expanded paid leave.
