i was at one of the huge rallies on friday and a couple people were walking through the crowd handing out a huge pile of flyers with WSWS branding saying that it had happened on thursday and everyone needs to organize a recall of the bargaining team. it seems like a cointelpro style organized disinformation campaign at this point

well, there's nobody from UAW International on the bargaining team, it's just the elected unit chair and recording secretary from each campus plus i guess some of the statewide elected leadership, who are all members of the locals. idk how much influence the parent org really has over us, the first time i ever saw anyone from international in like 10 years was a couple weeks ago when they came to teach us how to sign people up for strike pay (I've never been part of elected leadership tho). it could be possible that they're pushing us to settle behind the scenes but i haven't heard any gossip to that effect. Where are you hearing that the cola demand was dropped?

Halloween Jack posted:I'm sorry but I'm very confused by the news reports. How many sick days did the union argue for, and how many are in the House vote that was passed? I'm seeing claims that House Democrats went out of their way to give them literally more than they bargained for, and I was born at night but not last night. the house dems passed something that imposes the poo poo contract, and then passed another thing that amends the poo poo contract to give 7 (i think) sick days. the eventual outcome is going to be that the senate passes the poo poo contract imposition and then the sick day amendment gets unexpectedly killed by that dastardly manchin who totally told us he was willing to consider it but unexpectedly betrayed us at the last second

kingcobweb posted:you can’t start straight with WE SHOULD STRIKE, just let people complain about work and find out what the issues are. yeah, even here in commiefornia most people are uncomfortable with the idea of striking at first. you need to build your coworkers up to the idea. find issues that need to be addressed, then send a polite email to management asking for them to fix the issues, then when management doesn't acknowledge the email circulate a petition with all the workers asking them to fix the issue, then when management ignores the petition the workers can request a meeting to discuss the issue, then management will refuse to meet, etc, etc. most people seem to not believe that their boss will be one of the bad ones who will refuse to even talk until they experience it first hand. six months to a year of the boss refusing to acknowledge them over their concerns will bring anyone closer to striking.

it doesn't have the rent-pegged cola, which sucks, but it does have 6.4% raises for the 2 years of the life of the contract, which hopefully will be at or above inflation by then. the immediate pay increases, while also not the $54k initial demand, are still pretty big. i think it's probably going to sail through ratification similar to how the postdoc one did last week. from what i've heard, most workers seem to want to end the strike. if anyone who hasn't been paying close attention wants to look at the details of the tentative agreements the union made a site with bullet points: https://www.fairucnow.org/ta-summary/ i can bitch about my own frustrations from the strike but idk if people want to hear it kingcobweb posted:lol I somehow didn’t hear about this. absurd stuff company unions are yet another scummy union-busting tactic. like the headline says they're illegal but as always the laws binding bosses are hardly enforced Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 07:21 on Dec 19, 2022 |

Oops, I forgot that it was the grad school and academia thread in SAL that there were some posts with more context, not this thread. I'm just going to quote myself and a few other posters discussing about where the divide between the two sides is. Animal-Mother posted:Well, that's it for the UC strike. Cyrano4747 posted:What happened? By the smilie I'm guessing nothing good? Shear Modulus posted:The ratification vote for grad students ended last night. Animal-Mother posted:IMHO, the strike mostly appeared to be weakening because it's the holidays and people are busy with their families. If they held out past this, I think we would've seen a resurgence. But that's just my conjecture. Only thing I know for certain is that there's a pretty sharp class divide between the yes and no votes. The people who can afford to vote yes mostly did. MegaZeroX posted:From what I saw, the conditions for the divide was based on: e: Just like every other left of center space in the universe both sides are the privileged hobbyist leftists lol Shear Modulus has issued a correction as of 05:35 on Dec 25, 2022 |

If you allow me to be suspicious and accusatory of the democrats, I think that the timing of a sale of NGP VAN to private equity right after the 2020 election feels a lot like it fits into the constellation of other rule changes the DNC instituted or plans on instituting post-2020 to make it impossible for someone like bernie to get as close as he did to winning (for example, moving south carolina's primary before iowa). taking an essential piece of shared campaign infrastructure like the voter database out of the hands of the DNC, which at least theoretically could be democratically controlled by bernie-aligned democrats at some point, and into the hands of a private equity company that doesn't need to answer to anyone and has no real obligation to pretend to be neutral, is neoliberal privatization 101, just as applied to political infrastructure instead of state infrastructure.

i read that temple is also saying that unless you contact your supervisor and tell them you won't be striking, they'll assume you're on strike and cut your pay, tuition, etc. sounds like a wage theft lawsuit.
