UC lecturers and librarians have been impacted by recent wildfires in SoCal. Some might be requesting emergency grants available through our union's member hardship fund.

They STRUCK, they rallied, they made noise! 🚨 Over 37,000 UC patient care workers at 10 campuses and 5 medical centers walked out for two days, demanding dignity and respect. The strike’s over, but the call for justice echoes loud!

UC now knows who runs this! Two days of shutting it down from Davis to San Diego. We showed out (rain AND shine) to make it clear that we’re serious about UC’s ULPs. It's time for them to bargain in good faith.

None of us want to walk away from our research, students, patients, or technical support work, but UC’s actions leave us no choice. There is still time for UC to bargain in good faith with us & end its unfair labor practices. RSVP to join us in the bio. #UPTE #UnionStrong #UCSF

UC Berkeley admin is laying off @UCAFT lecturers in several language programs. This flies in the face of their stated commitment to preserve language study at UCB. Read and sign the open letter from the grassroots UC Berkeley World Languages Coalition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
A group of people gathered outdoors in a circular formation for a town hall meeting. They are standing in a courtyard surrounded by trees and in front of an orange multi-story building with large windows. Some participants are holding papers and backpacks, and a person in the center is addressing the group.

UC's refusal to give us key information on staffing is an issue for many of us. It's one of the reasons why we've filed a ULP. We're fed up with UC's bad-faith bargaining. To learn more, visit our website: afscme3299.org/blog/strike-n…
