What to do when grades come due? CUCFA Virtual Town Hall, Fri 7/7 @ noon – UCLA Faculty Association & AAUP

Just read the email: with 89.4% of YES votes, postdocs at UC have agreed to ratify the tentative agreement for the new contract!
It’s definitely not the perfect contract (it’s the result of a compromise, after all) but it’s a big improvement over the status quo. Now I wish to see similar results for my grad student colleagues!
I’m glad I was (a small) part of this strike, and I hope this will lead the way for other institutions and ultimately bring real change to the system!
