BREAKING - We have tentative agreements that include raises of up to 80% for the lowest paid workers. The strike still continues until the agreements are ratified. nytimes.com/2022/12/16/us/…

Congratulations to @uaw2865 UC workers who held the line to ensure student work is not poverty work! As a former grad student worker, I get it. I often had to supplement from my friend’s garden to have enough food to eat each week. A historic strike & historic win. ¡Sí se puede!

Here's a 🧵to address a concern that the ASE tentative agreement would create “tiers." For decades, there have been unequal pay scales across campuses arbitrarily dictated by UC. This tentative agreement increases everyone’s take-home pay and makes it more equitable than it was.

I’m extremely excited to vote YES on this contract tomorrow because of how amazing it is. Just looking at the current vs past contracts, we have made HUGE gains, and our new raises are over 4-5x what they’ve been in the past

Workers will earn raises far above the base wage as they move up the new experience-based steps. This is especially true for the 20-25% of ASEs who work for 12 months. These workers will see salaries of up to $55k/year.

An important perspective from four international workers on the SRU and UAW2865 who have been fighting a long battle for NRST remission, and share a vision to continue this fight beyond this contract.

Regardless of what I do in terms of the BT position, I’m not going to “move on” — I’m going to organize in my union. Once again, everyone should be skeptical of any person who is discouraging participation in your union.

Congrats UNM Grad Workers!! #UnionStrong

José Montaño Yes! This is exactly the question. People don’t realize that folks organizing for the Yes vote have a vision around enforcing the contract, building power in the workplace and the statehouse, and generally learning from this strike and bargaining how to do more, better

Today is the last day to vote! Request that missing ballot by noon. I'm super excited and I hope our contracts pass.

Contract Ratification Vote ends TODAY. 12pm: Deadline to request a ballot if you have not received one yet. 5 pm: Vote Closes.

Teachers UCLA Lab School asked to bargain professional dev funds, merit review process, sick leave, planning time & school calendar, class size & instructional support for neurodiverse students. All proposals to support teaching and learning.

Today, the Joint Council voted for Student Researchers to adjoin local UAW 2865. This decision is the result of decades of organizing by Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers to overcome UC’s attempts to divide us.

Solidarity with Peet's Workers Group & SEIU 1021 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 UCD academic workers support you & celebrate your victory

Why has @UCprezdrake failed to issue any directives or guidance about implementing our new contracts? Academic workers and CA legislators demand to know why campus leaders are threatening cutbacks and the President denies any knowledge of what’s going on.

This is what solidarity looks like. Unfair termination will not be tolerated! @cgpu_uaw

With SRU-UAW and UAW 2865 officially merged, SRs have not only won a first union contract, but the right to officially join their union. Today graduate workers begin the spring membership drive to continue building our power to protect and expand our rights in the workplace.
