I agree that these contracts are far from perfect, and I believe some of the circulating concerns are very valid. However, I believe we need these protections now and by voting yes we will set ourselves up well to come back, organize, and win more in 2.5 years. 3/

Tomorrow (12/23) is the last day to vote on both the SR and TA contracts - make sure to check your inboxes to find your ballots and vote by 5pm!

As a 1st year PhD student, I did not expect to spend half of my first quarter on strike. I didn't expect to be involved in organizing at all, I was just going to keep my head down and be as productive as possible, the kind of toxic productivity that academia encourages.

#IVOTEDYES to ratifying our contract because I know this is historic, but I did it for my daughter. We deserve good wages, protections & a process to continue to build this union power! We are the Union - We have gains that will change lives.. & will not stop organizing

not sure what to say, except that we just changed the lives of 36,000 graduate workers and we’ll see you again in 2.5 years, UC

What a fantastic win. This strike has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life. Our contracts we won will be life changing for myself and many others. Extremely grateful for the hard work everyone has put in and for the friends I made on the picket line.

The rank and file of our union have spoken and I’m so proud of every single person that organized to get us to this point. SRs finally have a contract and ASEs have the best they’ve ever won. The struggle of organized labor continues, but we should be proud of what we’ve done.

Wow. We ratified. $1B plus in these contracts. We’ve set the bar for what academic labor unions can achieve and raised the tide for wages in California. This was the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I’m really so proud 🥲 ✊🏼

What a day, what a week, and what a month it’s been. I’m so thankful for all the organizers, the bargaining team, and everyone to voted to ratify this contract. This has been a wild ride, and I’m pumped to keep organizing into the future! WHEN WE STRIKE, WE WIN #SRUUAW #UAW2865
