In the lead-up to our upcoming second-contract negotiations @Columbia has been secretly removing workers from our unit. They want to divide us and decrease our collective power. And we have the receipts to prove it. A thread (1/11) https://columbiaspectator.com/news/2023/02/05/postdoc-union-alleges-university-broke-contract-through-exclusion-of-journalism-law-postdocs/…

As of this morning, TUGSA is on strike at @TempleUniv. After bargaining for over a year, Temple still refuses to meet our demands of a living wage, dependent healthcare, longer leave, and better working conditions. We’re ready to bargain: is admin? #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade

Oh man the mental gymnastics. I don’t care if you name it a two-tier system or a circus or a zoo. What I know is that 7 other campuses are getting 2.5k$ less for the same amount of work. This should be very simple to reject.

(1/7) I’ve been seeing some arguments about how the ASE and SRU wage structures are creating a “two-tier” wage system, but this is historically not what a two-tier system is in labor agreements. A thread:

I've been in the throes of job market, plus balancing my other jobs and finishing my dissertation. So when the #FairUCNow strike began, I was content with taking a back seat. Nothing has made me spring into action more than this insulting tentative agreement. It's a no for me.

kicking workers who disagreed with them out of Zoom meetings and caucuses, not even allowing bargaining team members who disagreed with them into Zoom caucuses and some bargaining meetings with UC (!!), framing workers who disagree with them as “anti-union”

refusing to send out polls and surveys to workers to gather opinions on next steps (until last week, and then they just made the same decision they were planning to make in such a short amount of time there is no possible way they actually read the survey responses),

I think it's incredibly manipulative for the union social media account to be retweeting only positive reactions to this tentative agreement before ratification votes go through. This is not how you run a fair and transparent vote.
