JUST IN: @UofCalifornia has shelled out an estimated $29 million to handle protests over the Israel-Hamas war from March to June -- 90% of it for policing and other security. @UCLA tops list with $10 million spent. bit.ly/3y2ULcZ
Now in @OnLaborBlog, how the U. of Caliornia's TRO against the UAW strike is serious & destructive judicial overreach. This piece focuses on the end run around the CA labor board's "exclusive jurisdiction" over unfair labor practice (ULP) determinations. onlabor.org/the-uc-uaw-no-st…

Making the UC a better place to work makes California a better place to live for everyone. That’s why I’m rooting for @UPTECWA and so should you! Show them some love and #solidarity.
The excitement for our first day of bargaining with @UofCalifornia yesterday wasn't limited to San Diego.
All across the state, UPTE members were loudly and proudly displaying their solidarity at work with stickers, pins, and shirts.
Back to the table today for day 2! #1u
Last week, UC circumvented acceptable labor dispute practices to pause the @uaw_4811 strike. Ongoing securitization of campus sends a message to faculty: your employer sets the limit for what you protest and who you associate with. We reject this limit. buff.ly/3VHi9pC
Join @uaw4811 and @UCAFT_UCLA at a rally today at 11am at the Luskin Conference Center. We'll be there too. Labor rights matter. We have a better UC to win.
This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.
ALT Simpsons so far meme. Top panel shows Bart Simpson sad. Text says: "UCLA FA is the fourth organization to file a ULP against the UC". Bottom panel shows Homer holding his finger up at Bart in an educational way. Text says: "The fourth organizations so far".
@UCLALaborSd is mourning the loss of civil/labor rights icon, the Rev James Lawson Jr. For over 20 years Rev Lawson taught/ trained thousands of our students in his practice of Revolutionary Non-Violence. His legacy will live on in our teaching & organizing!
Rest in Power Rev✊🏽
There are many terrible things about adjuncting but nobody told me what “are you teaching here next year? I want to take more classes with you” was gonna feel like. Especially when the answer is “I don’t know”
