This policy has been in place since 2010. It’s the end of 2022, and tens of thousands of academic workers represented by UAW local unions are on strike because the UC system isn’t negotiating fairly at the bargaining table to make progress on urgent issues of equity. It’s time for the UC system to show it values its workers from all backgrounds.

Northside balcony thoughts, starring me and an Ikea Tärnö table
