How much did you get for a raise this year? 1%? 3%? How about 25%? FACT: California billionaires increased their net worth by 25% over the last two years. That's about $432 billion dollars. Tax the billionaires ➡️ Save California's health care system. Vote YES on Prop 40. #YesOn40

We’re recapping some U18 lecturer bargaining highlights in support of a fair contract. ✊ weteachuc.org/bargaining-u... Kat Lewin spoke about the importance for Zoom bargaining to support transparency: “It’s important for our members to understand the contract if they’re going to ratify it.”
A bright blue graphic from UC-AFT Local 1474 featuring a large orange speech bubble with the following quote: "We know that power on your side of the table flows up to the Regents. Our power flows down from 5,300 people who will ratify the contract. It’s important for them to understand the contract if they’re going to ratify it."

The bottom of the image includes a yellow banner that reads: "UC-AFT Table Team Co-Chair Kat Lewin on the importance of Zoom bargaining at WeTeachUC.org." The background has the repeated phrase "BARGAINING HIGHLIGHTS" in a yellow outlined font.
