While the lack of @CalSTRS action on #FossilFuel divestment is disappointing, it's encouraging to read about the efforts of @CTAdivest within this same article.
#CTAdivest is a group of CA educators organizing to build support for divestment within @WeAreCTA. Give them a follow!
“We have so many part-timers and short-timers who never benefit from raises that we see job stability just as integral to raising the standard of our living as compensation is.” Mia McIver, UC-AFT President #JobStabilityNow#FairContractNow
#TeamUCAFT prez McIver: "we don't accept that high quality education means low wages, low appointment %s, and exclusion from benefits. The way to protect quality education is to invest in teaching faculty." You said it Mia! #ReHiringRights Now! Are you listening @UCPrezDrake?
Did you know that the starting salary for a full time @UCAFT lecturer is less than the county low-income threshold at 6 of 9 @UofCalifornia campuses? Retweet if you believe that @UCPrezDrake should correct this! #FairContractNow#FacultyEquity
Did you know that the starting salary for a full-time lecturer @UofCalifornia ($56K) is less than the county low-income threshold at 6 of 9 UC campuses? Join us on today @ 2pm to fight faculty income inequality. RSVP @ https://t.co/ppq7TnmZGh. #teamucaft
The coalition at the bargaining table right now is broad. Seems most everyone agrees that lecturers deserve a #FairContractNow, and that means #ReHiringRights. Except for @UofCalifornia admin, of course.
Our #TeamUCAFT lecturers spend literally thousands of hours designing new courses based on their research expertise & writing letters for students in addition to teaching. @UofCalifornia students lose when lecturers are churned out. @UCPrezDrake we need #ReHiringRights now!
The minimum annual salary for a @UofCalifornia lecturer is $56,381, but the actual median salary is only $19,067! Temporary, part-time gigs prevent many @UCAFT lecturers from receiving the secure, full-time employment they need. @UCPrezDrake it’s time to settle a #FairContractNow
@UofCalifornia: "We don't want to fire lecturers, but... [rationalization, gaslighting, bad faith] we enjoy our flexibility." Translation: "we want to keep the right to fire you at will." #TeamUCAFT needs #ReHiringRights! @UCPrezDrake We deserve better. Students deserve better!
