Thinking about doing my PhD defense on Prezi just to feel something

So University of California is doling out double-digit raises to administrators while campuses are announcing cuts to the academic workforce? Where are Michael V. Drake's priorities?

We are not waiting around for UC leaders to value our labor. We are bringing our fight to their offices and to their mansions. And we'll keep coming back until we win fair contracts. #UAWonStrike

Can't nobody take us down,
Can't nobody hold us down, oh, no, we got to keep on striking. 🎶 (That is until we get a fair contract). #UAWStrike #FairUCnow

But where will the money come from? Says #UC , and silent & unsupportive PI’s. Given how much money UC takes from PI grants, u’d think PI’s would be more upset at UC for these raises & more supportive of us who do all the work on the grants.UC Riverside CNAS #FairUCNow

UC Riverside CNAS Kathryn E. Uhrich told PIs to call👮‍♀️on strikers. We then picketed her building & the dept is now LYING. Saying strikers were “aggressive, confrontational & threatening staff.” How did we threaten you! (1/2) #UAWonStrike vimeo.com/778653944?fbcl… #AUWonstrike #FairUCnow

Standing with @uaw2865 Student Researchers United-UAW calling on the University of California to bargain in good faith and deliver a fair contract for the nearly 50,000 researchers, teaching assistants and instructors that are still on strike at UC.

Grad workers are still camped outside the UCR chancellor's office #FairUCNow

Since our money cannot afford us housing we have taken over Hinderaker Hall UC Riverside & have even put up a 🎄(unfortunately the #UC grinches have taken all the happiness from it). Come by & camp with us in this very fancy building. #UAWonStrike #FairUCnow #SiSePuede

When UC says they've made their final offer and they're done negotiating, we wake up before dawn to tell the regents: We're not done! #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow

Workers are peacefully occupying the lobby of the UC Path center in Riverside, but UC Riverside called the police! Why is this institution so afraid of the people who carry out its core mission?

Another article w/ misinformation, & not a single interview with a grad student! Teresa Watanabe is there a reason you’re sharing these lies? We are anxiously awaiting your invitation to actually speak to us latimes.com/california/sto…

.University of California told the LA Times their compensation proposal would make grad workers 'the highest paid among comparable public and private institutions.'

We ran the numbers - That's a bold-faced lie. UC's proposals are uniquely low. University of California can do better.
