Postdocs and Academic Researchers reached a Tentative Agreement on a contract last night. I want to highlight some of the transformative Postdoc gains in this TA:
(1/11)

NEW: The state of California found that the University of California broke the law by failing to bargain in good faith with academic workers' union on 6 accounts, including by making unilateral changes to worker pay, according to @uaw2865

Today is day 9 of their strike.

The absolute best part of this conference has been getting to catch up with my WSU Entomology family ♥️ and my online connections. Thanks for a great meeting everyone! #entsoc22

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.

It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.

Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

Looking forward to seeing folks at #EntSoc22 !!! Come by Sunday at 2:05 in room 306 for my talk on developing proactive IPM strategies for Tuta absoluta invasion!
