UAW 2865 - UCLA

"Never say 'Here's what the union does for you.' Never say it!" — @rsgexp on avoiding non-profit brain in labor organizing. Unions are powered by solidarity, not service!

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.

On March 15 at 4:30 PM, in front of LA City Hall, @SEIULocal99 and @UTLAnow are standing together, United for LA Schools, and calling on @LAUSDSup to use @LASchools’s $4.9 billion in reserves to invest in staff, students, and communities. See you there. utla.net/event/united-f…

Members of UAW 2865 and 5810 from UC Davis showed up for today's rally at the first unionized Peet's in the country. #solidarityforever @PeetsUnited

Join the picket line this week and sign their letter to demand that UCLA Management negotiates with UCLA Lab School Demonstration Teachers Now! actionnetwork.org/petitions/nego…

Solidarity alert! We need you, @UCLA fam, to join the @UCAFT picket line tomorrow and Thursday. @UCLALabSchool teachers are striking because administrators are breaking the law by flatly refusing to negotiate. #TeamUCAFT stands united! linktr.ee/ucaftcontractc… #LabSchoolOnStrike

barring some speedy uncharacteristic negotiating behavior from @uw, UW library & press workers are going on an indefinite strike wednesday. it will be one of the few strikes to ever take place in our campus history. you can donate here: gofundme.com/f/support-stri… #UWlibrarystrike

UAW 2865 is in solidarity with UCLA Lab School Teachers @UCAFT. We know a thing or two about bad-faith bargaining, and call on UCLA Management to come to the table in good faith. #solidarityforever

Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers ratified our new contracts! The vote breakdown was 11,386 to 7,097 for Academic Student Employees and 10,057 to 4,640 for Student Researchers. #FairUCnow

Rank-and-file members of the unions representing graduate workers at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University said in interviews they are happy with the contracts but consider them only a starting point for much more work to be done. bit.ly/3HLMtJ0

UC Labor Relations has been falsely claiming that the tentative agreements mean the strike is over. This is wrong. The strike continues until agreements are ratified. You can report any retaliation from the UC via this form: uc-uaw.jotform.com/223477610516960

Grad workers at both UNM & NMSU have ratified 1st contracts. w/ overall raises of 7.12% & 6.8%, respectively, going into effect in the next semester, these workers have started on a strong path towards making their universities a better place for all ✊ @unmgradworkers @NMSUfight

Congrats to UNM Grad Workers for ratifying your first contract! Union power is growing 💪

This is often glossed over and dismissed by a handful of folks that this contract will literally be life changing for the lowest income workers!!! I will almost be making the same amount my dual income parents make and that's WILD 😭🙏🖤

SRs and ASEs have reached tentative agreements! The base wage increases in the tentative agreements are higher than the last 20 years of base wage increases combined. When we strike, we WIN.

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/…

3400 graduate workers at the University of Southern California are unionizing with @UAW as @gswocusc

The research worker and higher ed union wave is getting bigger! This one is a mega big deal because of the significant role NIH has in the biomedical research ecosystem. Workers here standing up for their rights will have ripple effects everywhere research is done.
