  1. University of California employees are our fellow knowledge workers. They have been our classmates in the past. The researchers are our collaborators & co-authors. And some will become our future colleagues here at #ChicoState.

    If those who have corporatized the academy are able to break the UC #strike, then administrators around the US will know that they can too. California strikers must win, otherwise the fate of other precarious academic workers elsewhere is in further jeopardy.

  2. Eight years ago today, I went on strike as a member of the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation. We struck against the University of Oregon. I walked this picket line for 8 days in the rain in early December and we WON 100% of our demands--an absolute total victory. Today, 8 years later, University of California is on strike. I stand with them. Fight for a fair contract! You WILL defeat them! Solidarity! #ucstrike #ucberkeley #FairUCNow #UAW2865 #UCURising

  3. UC knows their charges are high and that UC doesn't pay student workers enough to not be at-risk. Disabled ppl tend to be impoverished by ableism anyway so it's even worse. We made a "Benefits Counseling" document to find help you may already qualify for.

  4. @inquiline @gleemie @HigherEdLabor parents of UC students should exert pressure on UC admin to answer the needs of its striking academic workers #FairUCNow #UCstrike #UAW2865 #UAW5810

  5. Spent a good chunk of today talking to #uaw2865 and #sruuaw grad student workers about the #fairUCnow strike. It’s clear how much they care about their work and want to resume, but are also fed up with UC’s inability to bargain.

    I can’t wait to help them in their work when the strike is over.

  6. For all of his talk about big corporations taking advantage of workers and the need for unions, Robert Reich is silent about #AcademicWorkers, especially #UAWonStrike for #FairUCNow - where he works.

  7. Monday at noon across UC - Faculty Solidarity Rallies for #FairUCNow! Join your campus comrades in supporting #UAW2865 #UAW5810 #SRUUAW #UAWonStrike

  8. With #UCAFT comrades at the #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike undergraduate solidarity rally at the Campanile. The solidarity is beautiful and joyful. Here’s to fair contracts for #AcademicWorkers!

  9. Intro again for new users:
    I’m a #sociology #PhdStudent at #UCSantaBarbara studying #friendship #gender #masculinities #sexualities #SocialPsych #FeministTheory. Most of my research explores men’s friendship.
    Outside of research, I’m a rank-and-file organizer with the UC #TeachingAssistant #union #UAW2865. We’re #OnStrike right now, and I’m happy to answer questions about it #FairUCNow

  10. Scenes from the #FairUCNow #UAW2865 #UAW5810 #SRUUAW rally earlier today on the first day of their strike. Workers shouldn’t have to pay to work.

  11. Please boost this link to our "Benefits Counseling" doc. It has general usefulness to disabled and/or poor people, but might also come in handy while UC refuses to bargain in good faith. #FairUCNow #UCAccessNow #labor #strike #disability #AccessNeeds docs.google.com/document/d/1Um

  12. COVID cases going up in LA. This is a good time to remind folks that being outside doesn't mean you can't transmit COVID. Wear N95 masks, distance (esp if someone decides to eat/drink). Getting ppl sick means fewer people to work strike shifts. #FairUCNow #AccessNeeds #UCAccessNow #strike #labor #UniversityOfCalifornia

  13. If you're in UAW 2865, SRU, or UAW5810 and cannot do an in-person strike shift sign-up or indeed in-person strike shift work due to access needs, the unions have this online sign-up sheet. #FairUCNow #strike #labor #disability #AccessNeeds #UniversityOfCalifornia

  14. If you're looking for ways to support the looming #AcademicWorkers strike at UC with #UAW2865 #UAW5810 and #SRUUAW - they provide lots of opportunities including donating to their strike fund. fairucnow.org/support/ #FairUCNow
