UAW4811 leadership recently announced a Tentative Agreement to extend our contract. UCB RNF calls on coworkers to Vote NO. This surprise TA sacrifices major leverage, offers no real gains, and undermines democracy. Here's the tldr of our statement 馃У bit.ly/TA_Vote_No

VOTE 馃毇 NO 馃毇 ON THE UPCOMING TENTATIVE AGREEMENT VOTE!!
Don鈥檛 let the bureaucratic language fool you, this contract extension is NOT a win. Here鈥檚 why: (a thread)
Bosses love to bargain behind closed doors, but there was no requirement for our reps to follow along. This TA undermines our union鈥檚 democratic principles and the power that flows from them. 10/11
We call on all workers to vote NO on this TA. Voting is Dec 3-6. We encourage you to call a town hall in your dept to discuss the TA. Stay tuned for more resources. And if you want to connect and organize with UCB RNF, here's our interest form: forms.gle/9PNdJCerHZbDS1HaA 11/11

On August 19th and 20th, the UC administration ratcheted up their summer campaign of intimidation and strikebreaking by sending written warning letters straight from the University Office of the President to hundreds of workers at UCSC.

BREAKING: Directly after the Superior Court鈥檚 decision to grant a temporary restraining order against our strike, workers at UCSC entered an extensive process of deliberation. This included emergency dept meetings, two campus-wide meetings, and an exhaustive inquiry. Results 馃У

A judge of the California Superior Court in Orange County is set to decide whether to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the strike. This attempt is the UC鈥檚 legal hail mary to shut down the strike, after two failures to enjoin us at PERB. 馃У
