[Physics-grads-open] Bargaining session (3/16) for NRST and international student rights

[Ming-Feng Ho]

Hello physics and astronomy friends,

The second bargaining session (for UAW 2865) will happen this Wednesday
from 1 pm - 5 pm (RSVP here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhUllw7ujomTsPANMPYSgqt1RyAREpesAGKCbt64na1w1bRw/viewform>
).

This bargaining session will demand the UC for a fair workplace for
international student workers, including eliminating NRST. Check our full
proposals here
<https://uaw2865.org/2022-bargaining-campaign/2022-bargaining-proposals/>.

I list the demands related to NRST and international student rights below:
---
* *Article 11: Fee Remission.* No ASE should pay to work at UC. We demand
full tuition and fee remission for every ASE working at least 10 hours/week
— *including full NRST remission for international workers*.
* *New Article: Visas & Immigration.* No ASE should pay to work at UC,
regardless of immigration status. *All fees associated with applying for or
renewing visas and English proficiency exams will be covered by the
university.* Appointment security and pay should not be jeopardized by
conditions outside of ASEs' reasonable control, including visa processing
delays and/or travel restrictions.

PS, You don't have to stay there the whole meeting. It's okay to jump
in/out to hear the arguments from both sides. If you RSVP, you will be
invited to join a private Signal chat, where people are yelling behind the
scenes. :)

Hope to see you there!
Ming-Feng
