This week graduate students and a postdoc at UC San Diego got arrested and charged with 'vandalism' and 'conspiracy' for a labor protest. They wrote with chalk and washable paint about the fact that the University has not paid them enough as dictated by the union contract and table talk. The University, specifically the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, changed their appointment percentage from 50% to 43% in order to avoid giving them a raise.
Here is a local news article about it: https://www.kpbs.org/news/local/2023/06/30/uc-san-diego-student-workers-arrested-after-allegations-of-conspiracy-and-vandalism
They are gathering signatures on this petition:
https://www.change.org/p/tell-uc-to-drop-their-charges-against-protesting-workersPlease share it widely!
A couple weeks ago, the university leveled student conduct violations against grad students who staged a protest at an alumni event about the same labor violations from the university, and other similar issues. They accused the students of assaulting the chancellor and threatening health and safety, when the action was completely nonviolent. The student conduct process is still ongoing...
In summary, the university's retaliation is very overpowered compared to the modest demands and peaceful demonstrations from the grad student and postdoc workers.
Moreover, this is another reminder that the cops are not your friends, no matter how nicely you behave.

"Blaming education for the fallout of decisions made by employers & policy makers ultimately established the chronically weak political status of education and provided justification for decades of misplaced reforms in both K–12 and higher education. And the assumption became entrenched that individuals not thriving in the so-called knowledge economy should take personal responsibility for their educational and skill deficits."

What makes a job ad “terrible”?
On September 18, 2021, Dada Docot launched what she called “Search for 2021 Worst Anthro Job Ads.” Taking place on Twitter, this “contest” brought public attention to conversations that often happen in private between friends and colleagues who may bemoan the state of the job market and the endlessly multiplying requirements of job ads but feel relati

bell hooks would have supported the #newschool #strike. Very sad to see what’s happening up the street. Baldwin and bell hooks would not have wanted this. (If this subtoot is cryptic, please look up updates on the New School strike.) #academiclabor #dei #academicmastodon #litstudies @litstudies

In case any UC profs follow me on here: If you get the chance and haven’t yet, do head out to the pickets. It meant a *lot* to us at NYU in Spring of last year when our profs came to the picket line to encourage us, participate, and show support. You’ll win major kudos with the grads. And look, they’re making such fun tiktoks.

@aluckmann I’m a CSU professor in the Bay Area. I just got promoted to full professor, and at age 52, for the first time in my professional life, I can pay all my bills (including student loans) and my rent and buy food in the same month without using my credit cads. #AcademicLabor My lecturer/contingent colleagues are treated even worse with no job security, low pay, low status/no voice on campus, etc. Maybe I’ll go march with the #UCStrike tomorrow.

Been hinting about this job market project forever, and now I can share!
Is (precarious) academic labor outside the conceptualization of diversity?
We’re sharing findings from our project on the labor of applying to TT communication jobs in the U.S., and how diversity emerges as an organizational tool-- from disciplinary associations to the process of reading a job call and applying to a position.
If you’re at NCA, join us in NOLA!
