For all of his talk about big corporations taking advantage of workers and the need for unions, Robert Reich is silent about #AcademicWorkers, especially #UAWonStrike for #FairUCNow - where he works.

With #UCAFT comrades at the #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike undergraduate solidarity rally at the Campanile. The solidarity is beautiful and joyful. Here’s to fair contracts for #AcademicWorkers!

The strike is already the largest university strike in US history and includes half of the roughly 100,000 academic workers in the #UAW.

My heartfelt solidarity with all the UC #academic workers who are heading to the picket lines today. From one academic worker to another, I stand with you.

Make ‘em tremble in their boots👊🔥

The University of California graduate student workers go on #strike Monday. I'm inspired by 48,000 academic workers pushing for fair pay. The UC depends on these workers to meet its mission statement: to educate the people of the State of California.

I've cancelled my undergraduate course this week to respect the picket. On Tuesday, I will offer a teach-in on the strike instead.

There are two important links for Senate Faculty to examine by Monday:

1. This FAQ put out by the Council of UC Faculty Associations, which describes various measures you can take to meaningfully support striking #UAW #academicworkers.

https://cucfa.org/2022/11/faqs-for-senate-faculty-about-uaw-strike/

2. Faculty Resources for the Strike. Use this document to think about how you can support the strikers, and check out the fantastic teach-in materials linked within!
