grad workers fighting our boss at UC Berkeley

[Berkeley Rank & File @berkeleyRnF]

UAW4811 leadership recently announced a Tentative Agreement to extend our contract. UCB RNF calls on coworkers to Vote NO. This surprise TA sacrifices major leverage, offers no real gains, and undermines democracy. Here's the tldr of our statement 🧵 https://t.co/2WDyqT9nR2

VOTE 🚫 NO 🚫 ON THE UPCOMING TENTATIVE AGREEMENT VOTE!!

Don’t let the bureaucratic language fool you, this contract extension is NOT a win. Here’s why: (a thread)

The UCSC UAW 4811 organizing committee recommends that you VOTE NO on the contract extension. Unsure what this is in reference to? you’re not alone! Here’s some context. 🧵

[Berkeley Rank & File @berkeleyRnF]

We call on all workers to vote NO on this TA. Voting is Dec 3-6. We encourage you to call a town hall in your dept to discuss the TA. Stay tuned for more resources. And if you want to connect and organize with UCB RNF, here's our interest form: https://t.co/r90nFfpbX7 11/11

Bosses love to bargain behind closed doors, but there was no requirement for our reps to follow along. This TA undermines our union’s democratic principles and the power that flows from them. 10/11

The UC concealed this transaction because they didn’t want workers to know they responded to our demands. But workers aren’t stupid: in effect, we have won divestment.

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

On August 19th and 20th, the UC administration ratcheted up their summer campaign of intimidation and strikebreaking by sending written warning letters straight from the University Office of the President to hundreds of workers at UCSC.

BREAKING: Directly after the Superior Court’s decision to grant a temporary restraining order against our strike, workers at UCSC entered an extensive process of deliberation. This included emergency dept meetings, two campus-wide meetings, and an exhaustive inquiry. Results 🧵

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

A judge of the California Superior Court in Orange County is set to decide whether to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the strike. This attempt is the UC’s legal hail mary to shut down the strike, after two failures to enjoin us at PERB. 🧵
