new: California has finally adopted a heat safety standard for workers in hot kitchens and warehouses, w/ Cal/OSHA board voting to approve indoor rule today after yrs of delay & recent dramatic shake ups on board. Rule could be implemented by end of summer latimes.com/business/story/2…

This decision is outrageous. Labor injunctions from rogue courts have an ignoble history. That’s why CA passed a law specifically limiting orders like this. The judge seemingly defied the legislature, ignored precedent & spurned PERB, the body w/ authority over these questions.

Inbox: After UC failed a second time to get court order from the Public Employment Relations Board to stop academic workers’ strike, it's now attempting to bypass PERB, filing for strike damages and a temporary restraining order in Orange County Superior Court
what UC faculty should know in the event of an unfair labor practice strike
Council of UC Faculty Associations has a FAQ for senate faculty in case of a strike by @uaw4811 against @UofCalifornia for unfair labor practices against their members who participated in non-violent protests in solidarity with Palestine on the UCLA campus cucfa.org/2024/05/faqs-for-s…

Jesus. To those who are still on the fence about the brutality unleashed by ucla leadership and the police, I urge you to read this.
New: CHP isn’t supposed to aim less-lethal munitions at protesters’ heads and fire into crowds. It did at UCLA.
We found at least 25 instances in which officers appeared to aim their weapons at the eye-level of protesters or fired them into crowds.
calmatters.org/justice/2024/…
Police & UCLA's own security stood by and watched the assault on peaceful protesters for hours. It is only because the students fought for their lives and to protect each other that no one was killed in this mass casualty event lapublicpress.org/2024/05/tw…

“So admin, what are you going to do?” the Spectator editorial board asks in criticism of Shafik’s handling of campus activism following her April 17 congressional hearing. “Suspend more students until your entire student population falls into line?” l8r.it/HBc2

A Swiss court ruled that by missing its climate targets, the government failed to protect senior women from the health impacts of heat waves. Could this be the beginning of Heat Law & the Right to Be Cool?

Open letter to new UC Berkeley Chancellor
“For the past 25 years, your predecessors have tried to make up for dwindling state support by soliciting philanthropic gifts, pursuing commercial income, raising tuition fees, and cutting costs…a strategy that has demonstrably failed.
We wrote an open letter to the next Chancellor @UCBerkeley outlining what we consider the the three priorities they must address: improving the working conditions of faculty, restoring faculty governance, and protecting academic freedom. Add yours below ucbfa.org/2024/04/an-open-le…

.@Esri will no longer support attribute tables. According to President Dangermond "No one needs extra information about a point. It's a point, what else do you want to know about it?"
A Census rep confirmed they were on board: "Once we share the tract outline, our job is done."
