Feb 25: Demand Housing Justice for UC Workers!
On February 25, UAW 2865, UAW 5810, and Student Researchers United will rally at UCSB to demand that UC act to address the housing crisis faced by thousands of their workers. On average, academic workers spend over half of our income on rent, including those of us who reside in university housing.
We are 48,000 strong! ASEs and Student Researchers are going into bargaining in February; Postdoc bargaining continues; and Academic Researchers are gearing up bargain a new contract in the spring. United, we have the power to win big in 2022! Housing is a workplace issue. Now is the time to address compensation and the cost of living crisis to ensure an equitable UC now and into the future.
