Didn't think I'd be dusting off this account again so soon #StandUpUC

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

UAW 4811 members have voted by a super majority to authorize a strike.

Hmm I wonder why I’m suddenly getting these ads… any ideas @UniCalifornia?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It is unacceptable that while Rutgers University has an endowment of nearly $2 BILLION dollars, their workers are struggling to get by. I stand in strong solidarity with @ruaaup and the Coalition of Rutgers Unions who are fighting for fair wages, healthcare, and job security.

INBOX: 17 striking University of California workers were arrested at a sit-in at the UC president's office in Sacramento, according to the UAW.

Thousands of U.C. workers protested today outside administrators offices, houses and the CA state capitol.

For example, comparing UC bargaining rep Nadine Fishel to a mid-level grad researcher shows not only the massive distance in base wages, but also the major disparity in wage change over time:

Today we mark #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities to celebrate the essential contributions of people with disabilities. @UofCalifornia is committed to ensuring their rights & wellbeing, while striving for an equitable, accessible, & inclusive environment today & every day.

No, it is not fair. And this is why we keep fighting 💪🏽 #ucstrike #fairucnow #uawstrike

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.

[pororo munroe @kagredon]

when it's time to come back from break and there's still no contract #fairUCnow

[MuirOnStrike @MuirOnStrike]

A great way to support those students is to make sure the people teaching them are being paid a living wage! #FairUCNow

[Michael V. Drake @UCMichaelDrake]

This month, we’re celebrating all of the @UofCalifornia students working to be the first in their families to earn a four-year college degree & those who have achieved this milestone, including five UC chancellors! #CelebrateFirstGen

[Cops Off Campus UC @ucftp]

We have liberated the De La Guerra Dining Commons at University of California Santa Barbara!!!

Tell your friends and come eat for free at a free university! ✊✊🎉🌽🌽

A thread ! 🧵 – at De La Guerra Dining Commons

We are now entering week two of unfair labor practice strikes by UAW-represented academic workers at the University of California. Their talent is what enables UC’s world-class research.

I’m leading colleagues to call on UC to reach a resolution and bargain in good faith.

[MuirOnStrike @MuirOnStrike]

Today, UCSD sent us all a reminder of why we are asking for better working conditions. We do the research, we do the teaching, we make this university what it is. They will pay us to reflect this fact. #FairUCNow

[Lego Grad Student @legogradstudent]

Almost 50,000 student workers across the University of California system are striking for livable wages and job security. Student workers are essential; their success is everyone's success. I stand in solidarity with the strike—despite my very small stature.

[Noah Zatz @NoahZatz]

Today we see #UCFacultySolidarity w/ #UAWonStrike. There’s been lots of confusion😕about our legal rights to support & respect the picket line 🪧, including the suggestion UC Senate faculty are often unprotected as “managers” or “supervisors.” This is wrong. A🧵& a 🔗👇. (1/6)
