We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

Last fall, UAW put out a call for unions to align their contracts to expire on the same day: May Day, 2028. I looked into the organizing happening in response. My take is that credible sectors of the labor movement are taking this call seriously. workdaymagazine.org/the-call…

The Call Is Out for Mass, Simultaneous Strikes in 4 Years

These labor leaders are organizing for 2028. Cooperation across unions and sectors—if carried out on a large scale—would be unprecedented in the 21st century United States.

CIR physicians of @gwuniversity are sick and tired of management’s delays and refuse to sit back and just ask for change. We are united by our solidarity with each other and with our patients, and we will not hesitate to ESCALATE until our demands are met!

'Denied': UC fails to get a court order to stop academic workers' strike; union hails decision latimes.com/california/story…

UC worker strike to hit UCLA, Davis next. A looming question: Is this walkout legal?

UC officials claim the strike was illegal because of a no-strike clause, but the state labor board says that isn't enough to order a stop to the walkout.
