BREAKING NEWS: "Strike is averted, we have a tentative agreement," said @UCAFT President Mia McIver in a text I received at 4.19am today.

She called the deal the "best contract in UC-AFT history."
It includes rehiring rights and 30% wage increases over the life of contract.

Inflation hit a three-decade high in October, rising at a 6.2% annual rate, and @UofCalifornia management propose a 3% salary increase for @UCAFT #lecturers 🤔

You can support @UCAFT members right now. #1u #Stikesgiving https://t.co/HgKDrP4sSh

[UC-AFT at UCMerced @UCAFT_UCMerced]

Oh hey it's a bunch of CA Senators asking @UCPrezDrake to settle a fair contract with @UCAFT! How much longer are you going to drag this out @UofCalifornia? Why are you proposing a wage increase far less than even Drake has called for? Don't you listen to your boss? #WeTeachUC

[University Council - AFT @UCAFT]

.@UCPrezDrake has dragged his feet on investing in the faculty who teach @UofCalifornia. It’s time for that to change.

Let President Drake know that you support a #FairContract for UC-AFT #lecturers by sending his office an email ➡️ https://t.co/ze9DGYTFf6

[Diane Mendoza Nevárez, Ph.D. @DiNevarez]

A mentor once told me: if you leave,
don’t leave quietly. This is my story, this is our story. Always in solidarity w/my fellow lecturers as we fight for what we deserve ⁦@UCAFT⁩ https://t.co/XUCJ2180gu

[University Council - AFT @UCAFT]

BREAKING: @SenDaveMin, who taught @UCIrvine, along with nine (9) Senators sent a letter today to @UCPrezDrake urging the @UofCalifornia President to opt for labor peace and job stability for #lecturers by coming to an agreement with UC-AFT teaching faculty.

[AFT @AFTunion]

Why is AFT's #PSLF settlement such a big deal?

Glad you asked. Watch and share this video to see why.
