We're still calling on UCI to reverse the layoffs of IT workers John Salinas and Sandi Pearson. Their absence leaves critical support for faculty and students in limbo. 🔗 Sign and share: upte.org/dorightuci

Bosses say "We prefer to meet directly with our employees." "We don't want some third party in here." They're trying to paint your union as some outside group interfering. Don't let them. You are the union.

Gannett's only uses of AI have been total embarrassments, hurting reader trust in Gannett newsrooms. Reed, who was paid $2 million last year, continues to think that cutting journalists will somehow create success. He belongs on another planet.

scoop: Gannett is offering buyouts to its staff, per email just now from CEO Mike Reed. "...We need to adjust our organization to efficiently meet the needs of our business today...as we continue to use A.I. and leverage automation to realize efficiencies."

Today we let UCI know LOUD and CLEAR that we are going to continue to demand justice for laid-off IT workers John Salinas and Sandi Pearson. Both performed critical roles in their departments, and these cuts make NO sense. Sign and share our new petition: upte.org/dorightuci

The @UCDavis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is world-class due to the tremendous work that UPTE members do—but that doesn't mean our workplace is without its issues. Today, we marched on the boss for retaliating against members who speak out about their concerns 💪 🐴 🐶

When baristas walk off the job, it’s not just about coffee—it’s about respect. Solidarity with the workers in Lancaster and across the country demanding fair staffing and real bargaining.

SStarbucks Workers United@SBWorkersUnited · Jul 17

This week, baristas are standing up to short-staffing by organizing actions across the country! In Lancaster, PA workers walked off their shift and demanded Starbucks resume good-faith bargaining with our union. It's time to listen to your partners, Starbucks! @LancasterSBWU

We want to be partners in resolving the crises facing UC, but partnership requires communication. We don’t want to strike. We want UC to bargain in good faith. #UC #UnionStrong

For better or worse, no mediator or fact finder has the power to compel UC to make the necessary changes to prioritize research, students, or patient care. That is up to us. Visit upte.org/townhall to RSVP for our webinar on Tuesday, July 22nd at noon to learn more! #union

For the sake of our patients, UC needs to address the recruitment and retention crisis. Staffing has not kept up with the increasing workload. UC, it’s time to fix this problem. #UC #ResetUCPriorities
