UC-AFT WENT ON STRIKE THIS MORNING AND WON!
Your siblings in UC-AFT called for an Unfair Labor Practices strike at nine UC campuses throughout the state today and tomorrow and won significant advancements in job stability, workload, compensation, and paid family leave.
To do this your union siblings in AC-AFT organized and fought for 2 1/2 years to back up their negotiations team! They:
-
By a 91% margin, voted to authorize a strike
-
Sent over 2500 letters to UC administrators
-
Observed negotiations on Zoom (nearly 2000 members attended!)
-
Submitted 1000+ public comments to the UC Board of Regents and signed up to testify in public meetings
-
Made hundreds of phone calls to President Drake’s office
-
Tweeted at @UCPrezDrake hundreds of times in the last few days alone
-
Hundreds showed up for car caravans and virtual rallies (at the height of the pandemic!)
Congrats to UC-AFT members on their successful campaign!
