Here's our faculty letter from UC Santa Cruz, in solidarity with 48,000+ workers on strike. We urge the University to meet their reasonable demands immediately. Plus, $$ used to pay 4 campus cops can instead bolster pay for academic workers. ucscfog.org/2022/11/16/sta… #FairUCNow

Crucial update from @uaw2865 UCSC bargaining team members, Jack Davies and Stefan Yong: drive.google.com/file/d/13qy_ZO…
