Stand with Postdocs to Stop Sexual Harassment at the University of California
In response to the series of scandals across the UC system, Posdocs and members of UAW Local 5810 are hosting a series of events at the Berkeley campus. From UAW:
Responses from the UC system have been woefully inadequate and represents a larger systemic problem in academia.
We are hosting four Know Your Rights teach-ins by legal experts (Equal Rights Advocates lawyers, and lawyers who are currently working on sexual harassment cases) for students, postdocs, staff and faculty to provide information and resources about sexual harassment – what your rights are under the law, what you need to know about the UC policy, and how you can be an advocate and support others.
Stand with UAW Local 5810 members as they demand change at the University of California system!
Details:
