#uawonstrike — Public Fediverse posts

Today's reminder:

"only a tiny minority of capitalism-poisoned freaks oppose the #UAW"

#UAWOnStrike #Labor #Union

Republicans and corporate media continue to eat face on the UAW strike. The wedge this time? "Workers want to build EVs, but can't because of the strike. And the union is opposed to EVs! [sound of a baby crying]". It's always something ridiculous, isn't it? The UAW fully supports building EVs. The lies get dumber and dumberer. And, of course, infamous union buster Musk is involved.

Sharing this piece I co-authored with my @ceprdc colleague Sylvia Allegretto on where the focus should be with respect to
#UAWOnStrike. We need to be paying attention to what the #strike means for the #workers involved, and how their fight speaks to the core issues of #worker #power and #economic #inequality.

The @nonprofitunion
stands in solidarity with our union siblings at #UAW. Through #StandUpUAW and #StrikeOnBCBS, #UAWOnStrike is fighting for a future where #labor is rewarded instead of exploited. This a fight for every #worker , and together we are powerful. #UnionStrong #1u

The fediverse is shouting about it. The strike is on! Looks like there'll be a ramp up based on how negotiations go. This morning begins with 13,000 workers on strike with the possibility of workers from more sectors joining later. Could become largest strike in US history.

Our new podcast episode of #ThisIsAmerica has finally dropped!

Featuring interviews with:
* Journalist @dell on the DHS under Trump, and how they set out to manufacture an 'ANTIFA' threat during the 2020 #GeorgeFloyd protests in #Portland.
* The Atlanta Community Press Collective on recent arrests and ongoing repression in #Atlanta against tree-sitters fighting to #StopCopCity.

Plus, an antifascist analysis of Kanye's embrace of neo-Nazism and Nick Fuentes.

And a resistance roundup of ongoing #UAWonStrike actions and building occupations, antifascist resistance and community defense of #LGBTQ spaces against neo-Nazis and gender fascists and solidarity actions with the #StopCopCity campaign.

"We think that there is still more to be won."

After union leaders strike deal with university, many UC graduate students speak up against the tentative agreement. My latest story for Science Careers.

I stand in solidarity with UC rank and file who vote NO on this inadequate offer, and so should all workers who want living wages and fair working conditions. This was the biggest education strike in our nation’s history, and UC is offering a bare minimum to get it to end. They have so much more to offer #Solidarity #FairUCNow #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #UAWOnStrike #UCStrike #StrikeToWin

can someone enlighten me why the heck the UC unions are considering ratifying contracts before grading deadlines have even passed? I can't keep track of what's going on.

@dev I couldn’t agree more! This is such an obvious divide and conquer strategy, The strike is working. UC has so much more to offer than this TA #VoteNo #FairUCNow #StrikeToWin #UAWOnStrike #UCStrike #Solidarity

“University of California PhD Pay is Among the Lowest in the U.S. After Accounting for Cost of Living”:
“we find that at most of the UCs, a fair-market rent in the school’s county is roughly 100% of the average total PhD income.”

I don't see nearly enough strikeposting about #UCStrike #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow on this instance yet. Postdocs got some pennies, not even close to enough, but faculty passivity about the working conditions of every academic worker that keeps the whole show running continues to be the running theme as far as I can see

Prof. Stanton Glantz (of tobacco control fame; retired faculty @UCSF) discusses current #fairUCNow #UAWonStrike in light of past budgetary choices by @StateofCA, former #UCPresidentDynes, and former gov @Schwarzenegger. Worth a read: an example of failed #trickledown #economics and of powerless #UCAcademicSenate

ICYMI: NSPN supports the workers on strike in the University of California system, and we recognize this strike as an important way for UC workers to advocate for their needs. Visit our blog to read our full statement: http://ow.ly/b8lx50LX3h3

#FairUCNow #UAWonStrike #OnStrike

Yesterday I was part of an interesting discussion about #FairUCNow strike’s impacts on research. How will they afford the raises? Why do research centers have to pay the fee remission and tuition for GSRs instead of the campus?

These are structural issues #UAWOnStrike are laying bare.

And as faculty struggled for answers, because there are no good ones, this humble librarian just kept repeating, “This is something #UCOP needs to fix, but the system is truly broken all over.”

I love it! Imagination and creativity in #UAWOnStrike #FairUCNow

Gated, private islands can’t keep us out! Our amphibious strike brigade set sail for the the moated isle of @UCIrvine mega donor Donald Bren this morning.

Donald, call @UCPrezDrake and tell him you wanted your money to help the workers, not the Chancellors!!

Thursday 12/8 - TODAY - town hall for #ucberkeley faculty about the difference between being on strike and not picking up struck labor, and whether undergrads will be impacted by not grading or returning grades #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow #ucstrike

As the strike continues across the UC system in #California, folks at UC Davis near #Sacramento have once again taken over and opened up the dining hall on campus to everyone. #UAWonStrike

One of my students checked with the VA and found out that grade withholding will *not* affect her negatively so she asked to have her grade withheld in solidarity with the TAs! 💕💓💘 #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike #HigherEdWorkersUnite

Undergrads supporting the #UAWonStrike have built barricades at multiple universities. Just yesterday, UCD Chancellor May had his house targeted. This are small but increasing escalations working autonomously to a unified goal w/ a diversity of tactics. Do THIS not THAT.

You don’t need to be out doing another fucking march, ok? Let the Popular Mass do that. If you have any sense of responsibility, you need to be building your confidence up and practicing against achievable goals within your reach to push the line against the fascist threat.

@mike The strength of this strike comes from its sheer size. Do not let admin divide and conquer. Do not abandon the graduate students. @UAW5810 @uaw2865 #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike

@jonny do not let them divide and conquer with this latest offer to postdocs only #FairUCNow #Solidarity #UAWonstrike #UAW5810 #UAW2865

This morning #UCAFT President Katie Rodger sent #UC President #MichaelDrake this letter raising questions about the impossible tasks lecturers face in finishing the term without GSI and to settle the #FairUCNow strike.

No strike clauses are a major obstacle, but we still stand in solidarity with #UAWOnStrike

Striking postdocs and academic researchers reached a tentative deal with the University of California today. But picketing will continue as the deal is ratified and UC graduate students continue with their own negotiations. #AcademicChatter #UAWonStrike

Hell yeah! From UAW5810 on twitter.
"TENTATIVE AGREEMENTS REACHED FOR POSTDOCS & ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS AT UC!

Last night, the UAW 5810 bargaining teams reached tentative agreements on new contracts.

They will be put to a membership vote. Details to come. We are still on strike until a contract is ratified." https://twitter.com/uaw5810/status/1597641375331196928 #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike #UCstrike #strike #1u

@ClaraRo55 as a fellow academic, I stand in #Solidarity with you and other #University and #HigherEducation workers around the world. Our work is too important and undervalued by admin #UCUStrike #FairUCnow #NewSchoolStrike #UCW #UAWOnStrike

This Q&A with three graduate students gives good insight into why UC academic workers are on strike. https://jacobin.com/2022/11/uc-irvine-riverside-academic-worker-strike

The largest #Strike in #HigherEd history is happening right now and sets an expectation of fair wages for all #AcademicWorkers #UnionStrong #Solidarity #UAWonstrike #FairUCnow https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/largest-strike-higher-ed-uc

"The union isolated us, moving the official picket away from our location and leaving us alone and exposed to potential danger from traffic. We kept us safe. Scabs tried repeatedly to break through our line with their cars, at some points nearly running us over, but we stood with each other and kept each other safe. Comrades brought bikes over to reinforce the line, someone brought their car over, and someone even brought over a sound system to keep morale up through radical music. The road block had shut down access to the MU bus terminal for the entire day." #UAWonStrike https://itsgoingdown.org/strike-means-strike-report-back-from-the-uc-davis-barricades/

@stano I stand in #Solidarity with ##UAWonstrike. Here is a letter of support that we can all sign and boost: https://act.aflcio.org/petitions/show-your-support-for-academic-workers-at-university-of-california?source=direct_link

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.
