UPDATE: Nearly all UPS drivers in southern and northern CA have been informed by the Teamsters that they can refuse to deliver packages to the U of California during the strike. Teamsters confirmed. This will likely to have some impact on the U.C. system washingtonpost.com/business/2022/…
I’m striking because 92% of UC grad students are rent burdened and inequities in STEM will persist if we do nothing UC San Francisco #FairUCNow
Fully agree. Poverty wages are a burden on everyone, but the larger issue is how it excludes and pushes candidates out of higher education. Fair pay is, at its core, a diversity and equity issue and that's what we are fighting for. @uaw2865 San Francisco Chronicle University of California #FairUCNow
I now called and wrote to my CA state senator Nancy Skinner . Spread the word. Faculty, write to your representatives and call. Plus side: The people on the other side are friendly and great. I cannott stare down my upcoming budget projections feeling that I did not try.
The strike by 48,000 U. of California workers is by far the largest & most important strike in the history of US higher education—with the potential to transform the status & income of work in an industry that has more employees than the federal government theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Congrats Antonin Weckel! It’s been so exciting to watch this study come together and a lot of fun to be part of it. Incredible amount of hard work and strong science to be proud of.
Excited to be speaking at Keystone Symposia Immunometabolism Conference this week! Really looking forward to this great #Immunometabolism program.
