Student Researchers United-UAW
@sruuaw
Student Researchers United is a group of students working in research positions across the University of California organizing to better our working conditions
UPDATE - Student Researchers United-UAW has joined @uaw2865! There is now one union for all UC graduate employees. This Twitter account will no longer be posting. For updates, follow @UAW2865. And, be sure to sign a membership card at uaw2865.org/join/
Why has @UCprezdrake failed to issue any directives or guidance about implementing our new contracts? Academic workers and CA legislators demand to know why campus leaders are threatening cutbacks and the President denies any knowledge of what’s going on.
"By threatening layoffs, the UC is peddling the false narrative that it’s only possible to provide quality education at the cost of paying workers poverty wages." –Rafael Jaime. Read the full article: drive.google.com/file/d/11W44dg…

“It’s like they have this like public proposition, and then behind the scenes, they’re doing everything they can to damage graduate workers,” Elias Bunting, a graduate student researcher at UC Davis, said." davisenterprise.com/news/local/ucd…
Today, the Joint Council voted for Student Researchers to adjoin local UAW 2865. This decision is the result of decades of organizing by Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers to overcome UC’s attempts to divide us.
LISTEN: The largest academic strike in U.S. history ended last month with a landmark agreement between @UofCalifornia and graduate student teaching assistants and graduate student researchers. What might it mean for students and colleges outside of the UC? edsource.org/podcast/how-si…

A historic win for academia and union organization. Reflecting on all the hard work so many have put into this strike and I’m incredibly proud to have been a part of it. Solidarity, forever ✊🏽
It’s been a long road, up against an employer that tried for decades to keep us from having a union. Today, Student Researchers have a first contract — and thousands of coworkers ready to enforce our new rights and keep fighting for each other. #FairUCnow
On Monday, May 24th, Student Researchers from across the University of California system gathered in Oakland to deliver over 10,000 signed union authorization cards to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). Watch the video of the action below! #solidarity #ucsru #sruuaw
What a fantastic win. This strike has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life. Our contracts we won will be life changing for myself and many others. Extremely grateful for the hard work everyone has put in and for the friends I made on the picket line.
Academic Student Employees and Student Researchers ratified our new contracts! The vote breakdown was 11,386 to 7,097 for Academic Student Employees and 10,057 to 4,640 for Student Researchers. #FairUCnow
