UC Faculty Pledge of Solidarity with Strike
November 23, 2022
We, the undersigned faculty members employed by the University of California, express our strongest possible solidarity with the largest university strike in United States history. We will be exercising our legally protected right under HEERA as Senate faculty both to honor the picket line in full and not to replace struck labor.
We urge our UC Senate faculty colleagues to join us in solidarity with the strike by honoring the picket line. Such a commitment includes (but is not limited to):
withdrawing our instructional labor, including teaching classes (with or without TA’s; virtual or in-person), advising, and grading, for as long as the strike endures;
joining the strike’s commitment to withhold grade submission until the strike ends;
refusing any demands to do labor that would otherwise be undertaken by striking workers;
withholding campus and university service work
We further commit to ensuring that striking workers will face no retaliation including additional labor burdens imposed at the strike’s conclusion.
We encourage colleagues, students, staff, and community members to educate themselves about the strike at www.fairucnow.org. To support food and housing for striking students during the strike, please consider making a donation to the UAW-UC Academic Workers Strike Support and Hardship Fund.
Those who wish to add their signatures to this statement may do so online here.
