We need say no more about the need for a COLA at UCSC. The conditions speak for themselves. Graduate students have spoken for themselves.
All but one of UCSC's UAW leaders tendered their resignation on Dec 5, which was accepted and confirmed. This was necessary due to the serious legal ramifications of participating in unauthorized strike action (while in contract) as union leadership.
We are writing to gather commitments for various options for withholding or changing the nature of our labor, this quarter and next. Please fill in the following form as soon as possible.
COLA cannot wait; we will not wait.
