Not to brag but we just won our union election with the most YES votes cast in a single union election this year 💅💪 7,000+ UC staff now have a union and are heading to the bargaining table with over 40k other UC research workers.

After graduating college in 2011 I worked at Target for a few months and instead of orientation or training, we had to sit through anti-union propaganda videos. I will never forgive Eisenhower for this

He's faculty at UCSF and whines constantly about nobody being in the office. Every time I do a walkthrough in his building for my union, he's never there.

This is the second time I’ve seen this claim today. If this is true, it’s the most damning evidence of all—amidst a deluge of damning evidence—that UC admin are capitulating to the Trump admin because they agree with its demands. I don’t think the UC community or the people of CA will agree.

The UC faculty went to court to fight Trump's funding cutoffs and won. Why has the university system tried to negotiate instead?

Last night's declaration of a $100k fee on H-1B visas has been hugely disruptive to many Asian American families. Even with the update that it doesn't apply to current H-1B visa holders, it remains an attack on many already living in the US and had been counting on getting one to remain. 1/

can't stand this shit. when your entire view of "politics" is MSNBC blue vs red bullshit, nothing more than who you vote for once every two or four years, unions and the working class in general don't have any more meaning than who their leadership endorses
