Hundreds of UC Berkeley academic union workers represented by United Auto Workers Local 4811, or UAW 4811, rallied on Sproul Plaza and marched across campus Thursday afternoon. The demonstration marked one of 11 “Our Rights, Our Future” rallies for better working conditions held across the UC system.⁠ ⁠ The rallies were organized by UAW 4811, along with Student Services and Advising Professionals and UC Research and Public Service Professionals. The union has been bargaining with the UC system since July, with seven tentative agreements made so far. The “Our Rights, Our Future” rallies urged the university to move the process along faster and solidify contract agreements.⁠ ⁠ According to Iris Rosenblum-Sellers, the unit chair for academic student employees at UC Berkeley, the union’s top priorities in its new contract are fair pay, job security and increased protections for international workers.⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️: Sofia Wallace⁠ 📸: Sofia Wallace⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #u...
