TEACH IN ON

*UPCOMING CUE/UPTE STRIKE

*AFSCME WINS FAIR CONTRACT

*HOW LABOR ISSUES AT UC AFFECT STUDENTS

Come and learn about labor unrest and victories on your campus and what all of this means for students

7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 11th @ Baskin
Engineering 101

(Auditorium in separate building by Jack Baskin Engineering).

The AFSCME strike was a huge success, largely due to the solidarity, strength and unity of all UC workers, students and community allies. While it is a time for celebration and congratulations, we must remember the struggle is far from over.
Thousands of low-wage Clerical Workers (CUE) and Technical Workers and Reseachers (UPTE) are still currently fighting for fair contracts.

All Students, Staff and Allies are encouraged to attend!
