@alaskabeacon.com When will you guys cover the massive screwjob done to #University of #Alaska workers?

Mass action of the entire workforce, overcoming the divisions our separate unions reinforce, and pissing on capitalist labor law... that's the way forward. Hard, yes, but to quote some comrades -- "however long it takes, this is the only way, and therefore the shortest way."

After UA staff voted to unionize, the parasitic bosses reneged and nixed the promised 3% raise. What did the union do? Marshall all workers for a massive strike? Of course not. They can't. Labor law forbids it. Confirmation of what we've said: despite the best intentions, unions are straitjackets.

One of the #University of #Alaska staff union's initial bargaining demands is more merit raises. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Merit pay is a way for the bosses to reward Quislings and increase exploitation. "Sally, you never complain and you're doing the work of three people. Here's a 1% merit bonus!"

Waiting for the Alaska media to pay any attention to the ongoing negotiations between the staff union and the University's HR goons. Would make for good reading given the dirty tricks and lies of the administrators! (You know, the ones that led staff to file an unfair labor practice grievance.)

We're get nowhere like that! Even if it means going against the unions, our contracts, and maybe even the law, we need to find a way to organize and fight as an ENTIRE workforce. And why stop there? Workers across sectors need to link their struggles. Far-fetched? Only if you sit on your ass!

The bosses hate collective action. Much easier to crush us when we each stand alone. The same goes even when we unionize. UA workers have different unions for faculty, adjuncts, staff, trades, firefighters, and grad students. Easier for the bosses to deal with a different 20% each year!

University of #Alaska staff #union filed an unfair labor practice complaint against admin. Admin. HAD said that staff need a 3% raise this year (still less than inflation). After staff unionized, admin. nixed raises (except for those who opt out of union). Union alleges retaliation. Share!

Hot tip: "The new president is also part of the anti-union firm that UA hired during the graduate students' campaign and after staff voted to unionize. He's also part of the Fairbanks Rotary Club, Pat's besties."

So the new University of #Alaska president makes a whopping $420,000 a year. Ex-Prez Rat Pitney's last year's salary was $395,000. That means the new prez (a rich real estate lawyer) is basically getting a 6.3% raise. Meanwhile, as revenge for unionizing, UA is giving staff a ZERO PERCENT RAISE.

Before staff unionized, University of #Alaska asked the legislature for money for 3% raises. "Critical," they said. Legislature budgeted the money. Now, as punishment, the bosses are saying they don't want the money. These parasites are not your friends! us17.campaign-archive.com?u=d3a3c194db...

In a crushing blow to the egos of hundreds of middle-managers across the University of #Alaska system, HR has issued new guidance in the wake of staff unionization. These petty ass fools should no longer take "disciplinary action beyond routine coaching" without HR holding their hand. Etc.

Anonymous tip: "I work on a UA campus. Most people dislike the top dog and distrust their inner circle. There have been many complaints to HR and to the top dog's superiors. Staff are divided between hoping someone will fix things after years of reports and deciding to quit." Keep the tips coming!

Now that's "labor law," violations of which aren't crimes. But it is illegal to occupy your workplace, even though that was an effective tactic in the 1930s. Same with destroying the bosses' property. Etc, etc.

Of course we don't mean we murder That is an absurdity.. But something as simple as striking DURING a CBA is "illegal" in terms of labor relations. Likewise engaging in sympathy strikes, etc.

Staff looking to unionize -- do whatever you want. But don't fool yourselves. Only MILITANT, COLLECTIVE ACTION ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS gets the goods. ALL UA workers need to fight as ONE battle-forged formation! To do that, we need to operate outside the limits that legal unionism imposes on us!

This is no accident. The state has pressured the University to better align with the needs of capital. Axing subjects that can criticize capitalism is part of that. E.g., in 2019 Gov. Dunleavy tried to get the University to cut climate change research in exchange for softening his MASSIVE cuts.

While some faculty and administrators do okay, there are increasingly many -- including full time faculty -- who have a hard time making ends meet. We have heard an anecdote from one full time faculty who couldn't afford the laundromat until her first fall paycheck came in.

Hot tip: Some adjunct faculty at the #UniversityOfAlaska #Fairbanks did not get paid until well into February. There is a grievance related to this. This follows the 2024 disaster in which huge numbers of University of #Alaska faculty missed their entire first paycheck.

We think legal #unions are incapable of uniting the entire working class to fight against the bosses in a gloves-off manner. Still, it is instructive to read CAUSE-UAW's responses to the obvious LIES that University of #Alaska bosses spew from their bully pulpit: www.cause-uaw.org/updates/get-...

Trade unionism manifest: Teamsters local 959 endorses Dan Sullivan. This is expected. Trade unions are limited to fighting for the most narrow, short-term interests of their members -- and not for the long-term interests of the whole class. Destroy the planet? Just be sure to create Teamster jobs.

While the risk of ICE activity at schools may be relatively low, it is best to be prepared because such activity is more likely now.

Passed along to us (thanks!): UA HR released a statement about hiring priority (deprioritized in state remote workers, a FREE benefit the university can offer at 0 cost to improve work life balance). Another sign of a decaying institution is demonizing remote workers: www.alaska.edu/news/hr/2025...

In her self-glorifying retirement announcement, Rat Pitney bragged about every coincidence that happened during her reign. Nothing about her fight against raises that kept pace with inflation or verbally denigrating the UA workforce (as overheard at an airport). Goodbye, Rat Pitney! #alaska

UA's biggest lie is "shared governance." But go read what the piss-ant bosses post in their newsletters. Endless attacks on the bottom 90%, whether it's unionized faculty or staff trying to unionize. In the University of #Alaska, no power is shared! It's the bosses against you! Let's change that!
