@stevenlazarov It's still ongoing to an extent! We first found out because a former bargaining team member is also a state rep and could see thorough that BS from a mile away! It's come up again while we were lobbying with our faculty during this last legislative session
@stevenlazarov I'd also suggest trying to get a copy of everything they present before the end of the meeting. In my experience, admin promising to send it after the meeting means we don't see it for another month and that's useful to have at the bargaining table
@stevenlazarov It may be useful to ask about the university's attempts to lobby for funds at the state. Here at UNM they made a lot of claims in bargaining about cost when they were actively lobbying against proposed increases in funding for grad workers and adjuncts
NEW: 3,500 grad workers at Northwestern are unionizing with @ueunion@NorthwesternGW.
This makes 10,000 grad workers who have filed to unionize in the last month.
Why do grad school & work on your own when you could join the union?
Sign a union card (link in bio) and join us on the 1st day of school, Aug 22 @ 9am in front of the UNM Bookstore, to walk in to work with your fellow grad workers!!
Please don’t cut trans men and nonbinary people out of the conversation today. This is not just a women’s rights issue, anyone who can get pregnant is affected.
I came into the office today to scan a reading for my students and accidentally interrupted a group of 25+ roleplaying Legend of Korra in the buildings meeting room. Stepped of the elevator right into a fire nation secret meeting
This Thanksgiving remember that the argument to make to your racist uncle at the table isn't just "critical race theory isn't being taught" it's also "but it should be".
