Please join the 48,000 UAW academic workers at the University of California on their Unfair Labor Practice strike. The academic workers and their supporters in the UCLA community have been picketing to demand that UC administrators bargain with their union representatives in good faith.
.
 Unfortunately, UC is still dragging out the bargaining process and failing to act with urgency to resolve the strike. Therefore, the Academic Workers at UCLA Theater, Film and Television, and other academic workers are now hoping their siblings in the entertainment trade unions will support their strike to show UC the power of the labor movement's solidarity.
.
The Entertainment Guild’s Day of support will be held on Monday, November 21, 2022, at the UCLA Inverted Fountain Pritzker Hall, 502 Portola, Los Angeles, CA 90095, from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. #unionstrong #iatse #postproduction

Let’s talk about it ✨
Organizing is a way of changing the status quo at Organizing is a way of changing the status quo at a workplace. As a challenge to the status quo, it isn’t always easy. It often involves employees collectively voicing opposition to the positions of their management. But organizing is a powerful tool to win a voice and an inclusive, democratic process on the job. Through solidarity, we can accomplish together things that none of us is able to accomplish alone.
