Hostage-taking over the debt ceiling is threatening to restrict Medicaid & food assistance with additional “work requirements.” This is a failed policy based on false ideas about poverty, work, and labor markets. https://t.co/8026SQjdpa

Striking UC researchers, postdocs, TAs & graders are the backbone of the UC system but many can't pay their bills. They've joined a national groundswell of labor organizing with the largest strike ever in US higher ed. @kjacobs9 @NanetteAsimov @CeeLei https://t.co/aK4IS1PkCo

Statement on Strike of UC Academic Workers from @uclairle, @UCLALabor, @uclalosh, and @UCLALaborSD - https://t.co/RcJV1F8Zmc

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

A massive strike authorization vote is taking place for 48,000 academic workers within the University of California.

The sheer scale of this vote’s impact is immense - around 10% of all postdoc workers in the USA are in the UC system.

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

We, the Postdocs, Academic Researchers, Academic Student Employees, & Graduate Student Researchers at UC announce a multi-unit strike starting November 14.
United with @sruuaw & @uaw2865 we will make
@UofCalifornia stop their unlawful conduct & bargain in good faith.

[The Sacramento Bee @sacbee_news]

A strike would grind research and learning to a halt across the UC system. https://t.co/WSTjvfuz91
