ALT We, several board members of the UC San Diego Postdoctoral Association, state our full support for the historic unfair labor practice strike of UAW Academic Student Employees, Academic Researchers, Postdocs and Student Researchers. It is long overdue that these academic workers receive fair compensation, secure working conditions, and adequate benefits. We believe everyone should be paid enough to live a decent life, have a roof on top of their head, and food on their table. We support the fight for basic human rights such as living wages, maternity leave for all employees, subsidized child care, protection from bullying and harassment, subsidized public transport, and visa support for international scholars. Together, we urge the University of California to negotiate in good faith to ensure a fair contract, prioritizing its employees' wellbeing and success. Without good faith bargaining and a fair contract, the UC system will continue to lose talented scholars and fail to meet equity.
ALT A letter from the UC Provost with the following sentence underlined in red: "The part-time, professionally relevant work in which student employees engage helps recruit and support them while they earn their graduate degrees or, particularly in the case of postdocs, prepare to advance their careers as scholars."
