As the largest union of academic workers in the country, we stand in solidarity with students around the nation exercising their right to protest the ongoing war on Gaza by Israeli forces. 🧵 (1/5)

Last night, students and workers protesting peacefully at UCLA for justice in Palestine were physically attacked by a group of 100+ counter protesters. UC’s failure to protect students and workers is an abdication of its responsibility. UAW 4811 members are mobilizing in response

The UAW 4811 Executive Board is calling for a strike authorization vote in response to last night’s attacks at UCLA. uaw4811.org/updates/strike…

Today we delivered a letter with over 1450 student worker signatures calling for open bargaining. Student workers demand an open and transparent negotiation process! Show up tomorrow for our bargaining rally 12pm at Johnson Hall so we can win a strong first contract!

It took 2 years and endless fighting but we’re finally at the table to get student workers the contract we deserve!!

so proud of UO Student Workers. Sitting down at the bargaining table with a hundred student workers in the room, over three years of organizing paying off. the future of the labor movement is now, the future of the labor movement is YLOC-UAW!
