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.

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/ucaftcontractcampa… #LabSchoolOnStrike

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

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/223477610…

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.

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.
We are proud to announce that Fellows at the National Institutes of Health are uniting to fight for better working conditions, better science, and more equitable medical research for all. We are NIH Fellows United. #NIHFellowsUnited 🧵
