SHH the GA at Berkeley is considering a STUDENT STRIKE

[nadinbrzezinski]

things continue to go the way they are.

Oh and 30K people watching on the USTREAM is nothing to sneeze at, given there is absolutely NO MARKETING to this.

1. Berkeley is small enough

They could shut down the town. Wouldn't take much.. General Strike!

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. they are talking system wide

but they are discussing this... even this going to consensus is incredible

[pinboy3niner]

4. The whole UC system?

That is a BFD!

:hi:

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. That's what I am getting from the GA

They are adopting Oakland procedures now

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Breaking into groups of 20 to discuss this

Oh dear... this is how the general strike came...

I said strikes were coming...

:-)

6. Berkeley is beginning to act like the Berkeley from the

Viet Nam days.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Yup they are

and for personal history, no I was not there, this is looking like... Mexico '68... and I hope it does not end that way.

8. :D

The People.

[Hosnon]

9. 3,000, not 30,000. nt.

[greyl]

10. 30,000 was an aggregate approx number of all streaming services.

Not just globalrevolution/livestream.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Oh god, this is a strike called for all higher education

I don't think they get the logistics of making it happen on Monday, but.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Now they talk of Tuesday the 15th

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Well as they were about to take the vote on the STRIKE

Alameda has declared this an unlawful assembly

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. arrests have started

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Strike approved for next tuesday

[juajen]

16. I do declare! Looks almost like the fifties and sixties. NT

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. There are very structural differences

More like the 1930s.

It is...fascinating.
