Oregon Tech students in support of our universities faculty union @OTAAUP. Participated in the first faculty-wide labor walkout at a public Oregon university.
Students at @OregonTech conducted a sit in at Snell Hall (admin offices) in protest of their treatment of our faculty and their union @OTAAUP#FairContractNow
A aspect of the response from students at @OregonTech that most people will never see are the memes going around our student app. So we will be posting the best here (thread)

Just found out that a deal was made! @OTAAUP has successfully won their first contract. We are so incredibly proud of everyone who showed up in support of our faculty. The fight may be over, but students will never forget how Admin and the Board of Trustees acted.
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against apartheid and military occupation, and for equality, justice, and self determination.
We will continue to build mass organization of the multi-racial working class for the liberation of Palestine. #freepalestine
Police unions are terrible. But of course Jimmy boy here would support a police union before he supported a teachers union. Police unions protect corrupt cops and hurt their communities, while teachers unions allow teachers to focus on improving their communities and the country.
Organizing students have been gathering evidence that supports @OTAAUP claim that @OregonTech broke Oregon law (ORS 662.215) by not informing scab adjuncts that they are strikebreakers. Here's that evidence (thread)
.@OregonTech wants us to move on and forget about what they did. They say that it's been "addressed and settled" though it clearly hasn't and isn't. Why were so many scabs saying they weren't told? Admin can easily clear this up by providing the evidence that they were informed.
Oregon Tech students and staff are alleging wrongdoing by the university during the strike that came to resolution earlier this week.

This is messed up. The coursework teachers create should be their intellectual property. That way stuff like this can't happen without consequences. But right now I guess your employer can steal your work and get away with it.
Though I should add that nothing surprises me at this point, after finding out that two of my scabs were somehow granted access to my course shells from 2019 and 2020 and then posted old videos of mine as if they were new content to keep the classes going during the strike.
Every professor I talked to during the strike didn't feel they were "held in high regard and in high esteem." They felt the opposite. @OregonTech abused their employees and is now acting like they respect our faculty. Actions speak louder than words. #downwithnagi
He attempted to make our organizers win illegitimate, but the committee decided against it. Instead they will make sure it doesn't happen again through a student body vote at the general meeting next week.
