Republicans and corporate media continue to eat face on the UAW strike. The wedge this time? "Workers want to build EVs, but can't because of the strike. And the union is opposed to EVs! [sound of a baby crying]". It's always something ridiculous, isn't it? The UAW fully supports building EVs. The lies get dumber and dumberer. And, of course, infamous union buster Musk is involved.

Sharing this piece I co-authored with my @ceprdc colleague Sylvia Allegretto on where the focus should be with respect to
#UAWOnStrike. We need to be paying attention to what the #strike means for the #workers involved, and how their fight speaks to the core issues of #worker #power and #economic #inequality.
The @nonprofitunion stands in solidarity with our union siblings at #UAW. Through #StandUpUAW and #StrikeOnBCBS, #UAWOnStrike is fighting for a future where #labor is rewarded instead of exploited. This is a fight for every #worker , and together we are powerful. #UnionStrong #1u

Labor NotesAuto Workers Strike Plants at All Three of the Big 3Tick, tock. At midnight the clock ran out, and auto workers massed on picket lines. The first-ever simultaneous strike at the Big 3 automakers—General Motors, Ford, Stellantis—started September 15 with 13,000 workers walking out of three assembly plants in Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri. There are 146,000 Auto Workers (UAW) members at the Big 3. The UAW is calling its strategy the “stand-up strike,” a nod to the Flint sit-down strike of 1936-1937 that helped establish the union.
The fediverse is shouting about it. The strike is on! Looks like there'll be a ramp up based on how negotiations go. This morning begins with 13,000 workers on strike with the possibility of workers from more sectors joining later. Could become largest strike in US history.

After union leaders strike deal with university, many UC graduate students speak up against the tentative agreement. My latest story for Science Careers.
www.science.orgGrad student unions strike controversial deal with University of CaliforniaSome see tentative agreement as historic win, others as a failure
I stand in solidarity with UC rank and file who vote NO on this inadequate offer, and so should all workers who want living wages and fair working conditions. This was the biggest education strike in our nation’s history, and UC is offering a bare minimum to get it to end. They have so much more to offer #Solidarity #FairUCNow #UnionStrong #WorkersRights #UAWOnStrike #UCStrike #StrikeToWin
can someone enlighten me why the heck the UC unions are considering ratifying contracts before grading deadlines have even passed? I can't keep track of what's going on.

@dev I couldn’t agree more! This is such an obvious divide and conquer strategy, The strike is working. UC has so much more to offer than this TA #VoteNo #FairUCNow #StrikeToWin #UAWOnStrike #UCStrike #Solidarity
“University of California PhD Pay is Among the Lowest in the U.S. After Accounting for Cost of Living”:
“we find that at most of the UCs, a fair-market rent in the school’s county is roughly 100% of the average total PhD income.”

Academic Strikers Form Solidarity Across the Atlantic #FairUCNow #strike #UAWonStrike #HigherEdWorkersUnite
SpotifyAcademic Strikers Form Solidarity Across the AtlanticListen to this episode from Speaking Out of Place on Spotify. Interviews with organizers, strikers, and faculty participating in the University of California strike, and their counterparts at the University and College Union strike in the UK give us critical background information on both, talk with us from the front lines, and urge for global strikes for decent wages, strong pensions, and an education that teaches us how to work for a better world. As you listen to these extended conversations, you will be learn how both strikes respond to precarious labor, casualization, wage discrimination against people of color, women, and people with disabilities, and the ballooning salaries of the administrative class, and how both university systems siphon money meant for education into real estate assets and other "fixes" for capital investment. You will the outraged, but also inspired. To contribute to the UC strikers, use PayPal: feeducrgradstrikers@gmail.com

I don't see nearly enough strikeposting about #UCStrike #UAWonStrike #FairUCNow on this instance yet. Postdocs got some pennies, not even close to enough, but faculty passivity about the working conditions of every academic worker that keeps the whole show running continues to be the running theme as far as I can see
