CANCELLED - NOVEMBER 15TH JOURNAL CLUB MEETING
University of California academic employees with UAW 2865 (the Union of Academic Student Employees at UC), UAW 5810 (Postdocs and Academic Researchers), and SRU-UAW (Student Researchers) are currently on strike for a fair contract with the University of California. We support these unions, their members and their labor movement.
To honor the UAW 2865, UAW 5810, and SRU-UAW picket line, our Journal Club moderator will not facilitate or attend journal club today.
We hope you and all journal club participants will join the 48,000 unionized academic workers - including our graduate student workers in the Fielding School of Public Health and the Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice & Health - in their struggle to secure better pay, benefits, and working conditions. Their core demands address many of the same intersecting structural oppressions highlighted in the RACE Series and include calls for a living wage, transit and climate justice, support for working parents, equity for international scholars, job security, disability justice, and protections against abusive conduct.
In lieu of journal club, we hope participants consider ways to support UAW workers at the University of California.
Please feel free to share the following resources on ways people can learn more about the strike and support it.
