UPDATE - Student Researchers United-UAW has joined @uaw2865! There is now one union for all UC graduate employees. This Twitter account will no longer be posting. For updates, follow @UAW2865. And, be sure to sign a membership card at https://t.co/cpGZTMN67P

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Why has @UCprezdrake failed to issue any directives or guidance about implementing our new contracts? Academic workers and CA legislators demand to know why campus leaders are threatening cutbacks and the President denies any knowledge of what’s going on.

"By threatening layoffs, the UC is peddling the false narrative that it’s only possible to provide quality education at the cost of paying workers poverty wages." –Rafael Jaime. Read the full article: https://t.co/BS1DuKdyEi

“It’s like they have this like public proposition, and then behind the scenes, they’re doing everything they can to damage graduate workers,�� Elias Bunting, a graduate student researcher at UC Davis, said." https://t.co/BPOwT83CGE

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Today, the Joint Council voted for Student Researchers to adjoin local UAW 2865. This decision is the result of decades of organizing by Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers to overcome UC’s attempts to divide us.

LISTEN: The largest academic strike in U.S. history ended last month with a landmark agreement between @UofCalifornia and graduate student teaching assistants and graduate student researchers. What might it mean for students and colleges outside of the UC?

"And I can definitely say that our members are paying attention to what UC academic workers have been able to achieve, and are taking a lot of information from it.” - Sam Sumpter, president of the UW academic worker union, UAW 4121

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

“I can’t say for sure whether admin made that proposal because of the UC strike, but we certainly don’t think it was a coincidence.” - Sam Sumpter, UAW 4121 president https://t.co/YPtYfDpfQm

A historic win for academia and union organization. Reflecting on all the hard work so many have put into this strike and I’m incredibly proud to have been a part of it. Solidarity, forever ✊🏽

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

It’s been a long road, up against an employer that tried for decades to keep us from having a union. Today, Student Researchers have a first contract — and thousands of coworkers ready to enforce our new rights and keep fighting for each other. #FairUCnow

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

On Monday, May 24th, Student Researchers from across the University of California system gathered in Oakland to deliver over 10,000 signed union authorization cards to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). Watch the video of the action below! #solidarity #ucsru #sruuaw

What a fantastic win. This strike has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life. Our contracts we won will be life changing for myself and many others. Extremely grateful for the hard work everyone has put in and for the friends I made on the picket line.

[DSA-LA 🌹 @dsa_losangeles]

Congratulations to the workers at UCLA and across the UC system on ratifying their contracts!

Organizing and striking get results! Let’s keep building the movement across LA.

WHEN WE STRIKE, WE WIN!!!
