I stand in solidarity with my fellow academic workers and union members who were arrested and jailed for union activity, including chalking a sidewalk. UCSD, this screams of retaliation for the UC strike last fall #Strike #Solidarity #Academic #Union #UCStrike #UCSD #DropTheCharges #UAW https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/labor-unionization/2023/07/07/uc-unions-chalk-markers-led-felony-vandalism

UC strike ends as student workers approve new contracts

More involvement and more solidarity is a good thing.
But it’s dispiriting to hear that ASEs outside of the SF Bay Area and LA felt that a geographically unequal COLA was worth a No vote. Firefighters unions are accustomed to the reality of local price level differences, just ask members who serve in Silicon Valley

Wow! Well done #ucstrike

University of California Academic Workers End Strike
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/23/us/university-california-workers-strike.html

Hallelujah! Yesterday brought an end to the #ucstrike with an affirmative vote by ASE’s

With the two remaining contracts ratified, the six-week long #UCStrike has come to an end. https://www.berkeleyside.org/2022/12/23/uc-strike-ends

Both SRU and 2865 have just voted to ratify -- the #ucstrike is over! ASEs have a new contract, and SRs have our first contract!

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

A tentative agreement does not mean a contract has been ratified. Until rank and file vote, the strike is still on, which means there’s still an active picket line. #ucstrike

It looks like UC graduate students have won their strike.

' The strike was notable for its size and scale, but also because of what it could mean for other universities, said Tim Cain, associate professor of higher education at the University of Georgia. If graduate employees and researchers ratify the contracts, it could prompt similar changes at colleges that compete with UC or where graduate workers are organizing unions. '

Rather amused that as a UCLA parent of 18 months who has received many, many, many emails from many, many, many folks affiliated with this highly esteemed institution, the first and only one to go to my spam has to do with the #UCStrike. #UnionStrong

@miriamkp Hope it went well today. #UnionStrong #ucstrike

Want a concrete effect of the #ucstrike ? A student ran this regression using IPUMS data:
perwt = a + b * educd + e
and remarked about how we can't be sure that education actually causes "weight"
(But good job on the causality issue!)

Faculty on the line supporting our grad student employees! #fairuc #ucstrike
