Our solution is simple: staff up, not sell out. Put people before properties. #ResetUCPriorities #UC #UnionStrong

It’s past time we reset UC’s priorities: invest in the workforce that delivers care, research, and education—not more luxury real estate. #UCBerkeley #BerkeleyNews #ResetUCPriorities

UC is laying off frontline workers and short-staffing critical services while spending $175.8 million in cash on a Berkeley hotel. If UC can find $175.8 million in cash for a hotel overnight, but claims it can’t afford the people who keep patients safe and research running. #UC #ResetUCPriorities

That’s why we are continuing our fight to reset UC’s priorities. #UC #ResetUCPriorities #UnionStrong

These outrageous layoffs will exacerbate the burden on patients in Oakland who desperately need our help. #UC #ResetUCPriorities #UnionStrong

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. We stand united with the California Nurses Association as UC lays off our colleagues. #UC #ResetUCPriorities #UnionStrong

Join us in fighting back against these assaults on lifesaving research and patient care. #UC #UCSF #ResetUCPriorities

Our message is clear: We won’t back down in the face of these assaults on lifesaving research and patient care. #UC #UCSF #ResetUCPriorities

These callous layoffs will have serious consequences on public health: 50 million people globally suffer from a neurodegenerative disease. #UC #UCSF #ResetUCPriorities

These researchers advance potential treatments and drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, multiple system atrophy, and prion diseases. #UC #UCSF #ResetUCPriorities

UC thought it could get away with unlawfully and abruptly laying off twenty researchers. We can come out in force to make a little noise earlier today at the UCSF Mission Bay campus. #UC #UCSF #ResetUCPriorities

UC’s layoff of healthcare workers at Children’s Hospital Oakland has serious consequences for public health. We fought back, and UC rescinded one of the layoffs. We’re not going to stand by while there are assaults on patient care. #ChildrensHospitalOakland #UC #ResetUCPriorities

Maintaining the status quo is not an option: we are faced with a choice between escalating our fight for a fair contract or moving backward for the next four years, facing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in healthcare cost increases each month. #UC #ResetUCPriorities
