Academic Workers for a Democratic Union (AWDU-UCLA)
It is dedicated to using the union as a means of fighting for student-worker rights amidst the UC-wide and UCLA budget cuts.
AWDU, Academic Workers for a Democratic Union, is a statewide movement of student-workers in the UC system who have come together to ensure that UAW 2865 is a transparent, participatory democratic, bottom-up union with high levels of active member participation. AWDU-UCLA is the campus unit of this ongoing reform movement. For more information on AWDU-UCLA please visit: http://awduucla.wordpress.com/platform/
