#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

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

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
