Let’s call it what it is: There is rampant harassment and assault against UCSF frontline social workers. We are fighting back & demanding real change. Our members’ safety is non-negotiable. Enough is enough. UC must act now. #UPTE #UCSFWorkers #SocialWork
Met another researcher in a small, noisy, windowless computer room. Working on gene therapy for rare childhood diseases (and also forced to do accounting for the lab because of short staffing..). These things make a worker want to quit even through a great contract. #upte #uc #ucla #researchers
@uofcalifornia.bsky.social has again failed to agree to a fair contract after 16 months of negotiations and 3 weeks of mediation, so we're striking to protest the ongoing crisis of recruitment and retention that's endangering patient care and research.

Proud to be walking beside these amazing people and lending my voice to their rally. Support #UPTE and #AFSCME in being #UnionStrong #MayDayStrong. Essential workers that help you in your time of need deserve better.
#UPTE AND #AFSCME STRIKING at UCSD medical Center Hillcrest, San Diego, CA on May1 2025.
I'm in UPTE, have been without a contract since 2017. #UCSD IS UNFAIR TO WORKERS #UCSD DISCRIMINATES AGAINST #DisabledWorkers
Come on out and join my union that will be striking on May 1. #sacramento #50501 #upte #resist #50501movement
I was fired up to stand with @uptecwa.bsky.social on day three of their strike. Healthcare workers, technicians, and researchers keep our communities healthy, yet they're overworked, understaffed, and underpaid.
#UPTE
Although the University of California has $28 billion in cash reserves, healthcare departments are short-staffed, which makes patient care more challenging. #UPTE marched in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego today as part of our #union #strike for better working conditions!
#UPTE on strike

Amidst uncertainty whether my job or my field is even going to exist in this bullshit era, it’s time to go cast my yes vote to strike. #upte
Our solidarity is our strength. #UPTE #UnionStrong #Union #UnionizeCalifornia #1u
In case you missed it: Here’s a summary of the “Los Angeles Times” story. That’s why we’re holding an informational picket for California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System (CAHFS) workers next Wednesday at noon. #UPTE #UC #UCD #UCDavis #BirdFlu #ResetUCPriorities
Solidarity means braving the elements alongside thousands of coworkers to fight against unfair labor practices. Our dedication proves that, rain or shine, we’re committed to fighting for what’s right. Let’s continue to show UC that we won’t settle for less than fairness and transparency. #UPTE #UC
UC’s unfair labor practices and the crisis of recruitment and retention can be ruff. However, our presence—on two feet or four paws—cannot be ignored! #UPTE #UnionStrong #UC #UofCalifornia #ResetUCPriorities
Highlight of our strike last month: A picket line at Chancellor Hawgood’s “State of the University” address. The real state of UCSF could be found out in the streets on an unfair labor practice strike with thousands of healthcare, research, & technical workers. #UPTE #UnionStrong #UC #UCSF #UCSFSOTU
UC must address the issues of staffing and working conditions by filling all vacant positions, improving compensation, and creating a supportive work environment. #UPTE #UnionStrong #UC #UofCalifornia #ResetUCPriorities #UCD #UCDavis #LeadingTheWay #IamUCDavisVetMed
“The stakes for the lab are high: It is the only lab in the state with the authority to confirm bird flu cases.” #UPTE #UnionStrong #UC #UofCalifornia #ResetUCPriorities #UCD #UCDavis #LeadingTheWay #IamUCDavisVetMed
UPTE researchers across the University of California system are courageously blowing the whistle as UC’s structural short-staffing puts public safety and our food supply at risk for bird flu. The link to the full “Los Angeles Times” article is in our bio. #UPTE #UnionStrong #UC #ResetUCPriorities
