So @UofCalifornia is doling out double-digit raises to administrators while campuses are announcing cuts to the academic workforce? Where are @UCPrezDrake'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

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.@UCRCNAS #FairUCNow

@UCRCNAS @kathrynuhrich 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 @sruuaw 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.

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 @UCRiverside called the police! Why is this institution so afraid of the people who carry out its core mission?

.@UofCalifornia 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. @UofCalifornia can do better.

We are now entering week two of unfair labor practice strikes by UAW-represented academic workers at the University of California. Their talent is what enables UC’s world-class research. I’m leading colleagues to call on UC to reach a resolution and bargain in good faith.
