There are many terrible things about adjuncting but nobody told me what “are you teaching here next year? I want to take more classes with you” was gonna feel like. Especially when the answer is “I don’t know”

UCLA Labor Studies is mourning the loss of civil/labor rights icon, the Rev James Lawson Jr. For over 20 years Rev Lawson taught/ trained thousands of our students in his practice of Revolutionary Non-Violence. His legacy will live on in our teaching & organizing! Rest in Power Rev✊🏽

Despite recent troubling actions by the UC which undermine the legal rights of public employees, PERB remains the right avenue for us to defend the safety and integrity of our workplaces. #StandUpUC #Labor #PublicEmployees #California #PERB #UCLA #JudgeShopping

This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.

On June 3rd, the # UCLAFA filed ULP charges against the UC to vindicate faculty rights to protest, organize, and exercise academic freedom.

Making the UC a better place to work makes California a better place to live for everyone. That’s why I’m rooting for UPTE-CWA 9119 and so should you! Show them some love and #solidarity.

The #UCLAFA is the fourth organization to file a ULP against the UC in the wake of its actions at #UCLA in late April and early May.

In the charge, the #UCLAFA details two ways in which #UCLA interfered with its members’ rights under HEERA (Higher Education Employment Relations Act).

[1] #UCLA allowed anti-Palestinian counter-protestors to assault #UCLAFA members and other faculty alongside our students.

[1.1] #UCLA then called on law enforcement to forcibly remove and arrest #UCLAFA members, other faculty, and students between 4/30-5/1.

[1.2] In doing so, #UCLA interfered with faculty’s protected right to advocate and organize regarding matters that impact workplace safety (i.e. protecting students, graduate workers, faculty colleagues, and staff who exercised their right to protest).

Now in OnLabor, how the U. of Caliornia's TRO against the UAW strike is serious & destructive judicial overreach. This piece focuses on the end run around the CA labor board's "exclusive jurisdiction" over unfair labor practice (ULP) determinations. onlabor.org/the-uc-uaw-no-…
