UC can’t ghost SRU! RSVP for the 10/28 action

UC’s conduct towards its workers is downright ghoulish! Not only is UC denying recognition to our new union, but they are also stalling at the bargaining table with Postdocs in UAW 5810 and refusing to make meaningful proposals on key issues like compensation and housing.
Keep the pressure on UC by attending the action on Thursday, 10/28 (UC Santa Cruz will be rallying on Tuesday 10/26). Student Researchers and Postdocs will be rallying together to protest UC’s refusal to improve working conditions for researchers.
You can also keep the pressure on UC by voting on the resolution. If you’ve already voted on the resolution, forward it to a few of your friends and colleagues and ask them to vote too. Voting closes tonight at 8:00!

Text at the top reads, "UC Can't Ghost Us. Postdocs & Student Researchers Joint Rally Against Union-Busting. Thursday, Oct 28 at All UC Campuses, Oct 26 at UCSC.
