Did you know that the starting salary for a full time University Council - AFT lecturer is less than the county low-income threshold at 6 of 9 University of California campuses? Retweet if you believe that @UCPrezDrake should correct this! #FairContractNow #FacultyEquity

Our #TeamUCAFT lecturers spend literally thousands of hours designing new courses based on their research expertise & writing letters for students in addition to teaching. University of California students lose when lecturers are churned out. @UCPrezDrake we need #ReHiringRights now!

Peter Robb was NOT a friend to unions or labor advocates. Looking forward to seeing a new face for the NLRB. #unionstrong

The coalition at the bargaining table right now is broad. Seems most everyone agrees that lecturers deserve a #FairContractNow, and that means #ReHiringRights. Except for University of California admin, of course.

The minimum annual salary for a University of California lecturer is $56,381, but the actual median salary is only $19,067! Temporary, part-time gigs prevent many University Council - AFT lecturers from receiving the secure, full-time employment they need. @UCPrezDrake it’s time to settle a #FairContractNow

UC Lecturers deserve Job Security, and pay that is Cost of Living Adjusted for the Campus-Community in which they teach.

University of California: "We don't want to fire lecturers, but... [rationalization, gaslighting, bad faith] we enjoy our flexibility." Translation: "we want to keep the right to fire you at will." #TeamUCAFT needs #ReHiringRights! @UCPrezDrake We deserve better. Students deserve better!

“We have so many part-timers and short-timers who never benefit from raises that we see job stability just as integral to raising the standard of our living as compensation is.” Mia McIver, UC-AFT President #JobStabilityNow #FairContractNow

#TeamUCAFT prez McIver: "we don't accept that high quality education means low wages, low appointment %s, and exclusion from benefits. The way to protect quality education is to invest in teaching faculty." You said it Mia! #ReHiringRights Now! Are you listening @UCPrezDrake?

While the lack of CalSTRS action on #FossilFuel divestment is disappointing, it's encouraging to read about the efforts of @CTAdivest within this same article. #CTAdivest is a group of CA educators organizing to build support for divestment within California Teachers Association. Give them a follow!

Let’s move to a 4 day school week but keep a 5 day work week. Every Monday teachers have the whole day to do all the things they should not have to give up their weekend or outside of contract time doing. Simple as that. 🤷🏻‍♀️
