Tomorrow, the Cal State faculty #union will vote to authorize a strike for the fifth time in our history. The vote includes 30,000 tenure-line and adjunct faculty, librarians, and counselors. We have been denied parental leave, pay raises in line with inflation, and gender-neutral bathrooms while our chancellor makes close to $1 million and my campus president got a 29% raise. We are done footing the bill for the chancellor’s house ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾
I do hold the hope that university professors will begin to recognize their shared struggled with the rest of the working class.
Now is as good a time as any, I suppose. Historically, professors have been among the cohorts most insulated, probably the one singularly most insulated, from the ravages of the the capitalist class, but no one is any longer too blind to see how universities have been systemically transformed into private businesses under the calculus of neoliberalism.
Class consciousness is rising.
One reason academics are so important. I hope they authorize the strike.
Sorry. I may not understand.
