Grad workers are also helping each other organize across campuses. For instance, those at Northwestern, University of Chicago, and Johns Hopkins "ran joint trainings and exchanged materials" since they were organizing around the same time, Luketa wrote: https://t.co/VXTvBHkAJy
Student and worker protest movements have always pushed the UC to the right side of history. As UC demonstrates in an article on their own website, it is the students and workers who remain the driving force of change in the UC system. https://t.co/blgAVaU8TO

🧵The UAW isn’t a pro-worker HR department. It’s a movement. We don’t just win back our wages and benefits. We win back our power. We win back our organization. We win back our solidarity.
Another huge win! Congratulations to Project Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab who unanimously voted to ratify their new contract and are now officially members of the Academic Researcher bargaining unit - welcome to UAW 5810! ✊
When Identity Europa vandalized UCSD with white supremacist slogans, no arrests were made, the Title IX office called it free speech, & the campus hosted town halls where smug liberals explained why we must let fascists hold rallies on campus. But chalk… https://t.co/q0Rgooyjdf
WHEN THE UNION'S INSPIRATION THROUGH THE WORKERS' BLOOD SHALL RUN THERE CAN BE NO POWER GREATER ANYWHERE BENEATH THE SUN YET WHAT FORCE ON EARTH IS WEAKER THAN THE FEEBLE STRENGTH OF ONE BUT THE UNION MAKES US STRONG
We are #UnionMADE -- a slate of workers organizing statewide in UAW 2865 and UAW 5810 around a vision of Mass Action and Democratic Empowerment. Read more about our vision at https://t.co/QxqB8LFgE3 and remember to vote on April 26th and 27th!
How to be @UCPrezDrake in three easy steps:
1. Say you're broke
2. Make $500,000 appear out of nowhere
3. Blame us for striking for better living conditions
UCSD told workers they can only afford 85% of the typical number of TA jobs next year. Meanwhile, the UC Regents voted to give Chancellor Pradeep Khosla a $500,000 raise.
@UofCalifornia has the money for our contract. They just lack the will to implement it
if you didn’t find love, that’s on you. i did my best. maybe we can try again in ~2 years? i’ll be around! until then, solidarity forever and ever and ever ❤️🔥🫡
@UCBerkeley Don't believe UCOP lies. If @UCPrezDrake really cared for your graduate students, you wouldn't have waited until @Mayor_Steinberg yelled at you over the phone telling you to stop your bullshit games. UC deserve zero credit for reaching this tentative agreement. #FairUCNow
@UofCalifornia Breakthroughs made possible only through the labor of overworked graduate students paid starvation wages. When will @UofCalifornia @UCPrezDrake give them a contract that actually honors their contributions to society? #FairUCNow#UAWonStrike
