But *how* did they find out that you heal a jellyfish sting by peeing on it? #WeTweet

[Samantha ོ @SamanthaCooney]

Yes, this actually happened. Minutes after I gave a comment saying up to 10.8% of @UNM students have experienced homelessness, the Board had a lengthy conversation about how one of the highest paid people at UNM is “way underpaid”

[Leslie Donovan @ldonovan]

We worked so hard to make a difference for all our faculty colleagues at UNM. This is a big step, but it's just the beginning. Become a member now to make sure you get the benefits of our work. Only members (https://t.co/9OroTKK4Zh) get to vote on what we focus on next!

BIG NEWS!

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Our members spoke, and we have heard @UNM and @PresidentStokes say a lot over the years (& this morning) Faculty need stability in many aspects of their work. Let's bargain not stall! #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Short layoff notices, transparency, burdensome workload for BIPOC faculty– are just some of the articles on the table -@UNM Regent Brown & @PresidentStokes it's more than salaries that need immediate work. #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

The Administration of @UNM knows the value contracts - look what @PresidentStokes got from the Board of Regents. Enough delays #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Let’s get to the table @UNM and get to work – faculty have carried the load through this pandemic. #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

"...Email thanks aren't enough. UNM faculty deserve a contract!" #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

We are ready to book some dates with admin and finish this contract for all faculty.
@UNM #unmcontractnow

[Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees @WeAreGAGE]

Solidarity with @UA_UNM as they fight for a fair contract. It’s time for the employer to stop stalling and agree to a #UNMContractNOW

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Stay tuned for updates - Still CAN'T believe this is still on the table from @UNM - for one, members don't want attacks on tenure at UNM. #unmcontractnow

[AFT Academics @AFTacademics]

Full and part-time faculty union members at the University of New Mexico are fighting hard for a fair contract. Today they're asking admin to work with them and get it done by the end of the semester.

Can we get a "Solidarity with @UA_UNM!" going??

#UNMCONTRACTNOW #UnionStrong

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Even these most basic things are long overdue. #unmcontractnow

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

Why does @unm honor President Stokes' contract with a $59,000 bonus in Oct '20 but lags in finishing a contract with faculty where adjuncts make $2,200 and deserve more?#unmcontractnow https://t.co/mB9w8GYXns

[United Academics of the University of New Mexico @UA_UNM]

We have cleared our schedules to work this out at the table. It’s time that @UNM does so as well. #unmcontractnow

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Sorry the deans office was unable to function last week. The Administrative Assistant was out and none of us know where anything is or how to do anything without support staff!

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

The reason we don’t invite the Film Studies chair to meetings is, he just goes all “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” on everyone.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Our old strategy wasn’t working. We have a working group which has created a new strategy where no one does anything different. Change and results are imminent!

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We are sorry that the digital initiative has made it easier for your paperwork to get lost. Remember that the next time you denigrate the college staff.
