I'm voting for Shawn Fain for UAW president. Our union needs reform from the top down, and a leader that believes in a democratic union with open elections is an excellent start. (Photo of a very cute kitty for 👀) UAW 2865 UAW5810

While UCOP has the legal right to dock pay for work that was not done during the strike, we believe that UC’s attempt to survey faculty about whether or not they honored the picket line is unlawful and faculty are not required to submit these forms. See:

After abandoning all core demands and shutting down the UC strike, the UAW is now helping administration get workers to sign attestation forms to the university can more efficiently dock their pay.
UAW = management.

Take away one-time funding allocations and it's less than the 5% compact agreement for base funding. Inflation running in excess of 8% makes even that 5% an effective cut, and that's before you factor in additional higher labor costs incurred by settlement of .

The picket line is not where I'd imagined spending the last week of my postdoctoral training at University of Washington but here we are... Why won't you give your workers - the workers that actually make UW what it is - a ?

Just when I think I couldn’t hate the board of regents and their money laundering cronyism any more than I already do. There is literally no reason why the regents should exist. Most of them have never been educators in their lives.

mishandling , not telling campuses where money will come to fund ASE appointments, not providing funds to make up grading work, retrospectively docking pay for faculty and grad students fighting for and not recognizing all the extra work they routinely do

Congrats to UC Davis Plant Biology for being the first biology department at a public university to pay grads students a living-wage!

And big thanks Alyssa Phillips for updating the Biology PhD Stipend database with some of the new rates!

Tomorrow's incredibly packed final day of the UC Regents meeting will include a full vote to approve a combined $800,000 in raises to the system's 10 chancellors. Most chancellors fall in the 25th percentile of pay nationally. This raise would move them to the 40th percentile. 🧵

The GM Flint Rank-and-File Committee has issued a powerful rebuttal to the UAW's attempt to blame low turnout in the union election on workers' apathy. As Will Lehman | WillforUAWpresident.org has demonstrated, the UAW bureaucracy engaged in voter suppression. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Excellent interview with a UC Irvine striker active in the 'Vote No' campaign, fighting for . She highlights many dirty tricks UAW 2865 pulled to push through UC's poverty contract.

Mailing out my UAW Runoff election ballot today! I'm voting for Shawn Fain. A vote for Ray Curry is a vote for stagnancy and corruption!
