It is 2023, and this is a brief story of how we got here. The California Association of Professional Scientists (CAPS) is in its 3rd year of bargaining. As negotiations continue, the issue of #payequity has come to the forefront. 1/4 @FlatGavin @capsscientists
I reduced my timebase at my State job to make time to work a second, higher-paying job so I can make ends-meet for my family. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
I love a good photo petition!!’ #solidarity
Today, CAPS-UAW members delivered our photo petition, signed by a majority of all rank-and-file State Scientists, demanding a fair contract. Photo Petitions were delivered to @GavinNewsom’s office and five Agency Secretaries. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom State Scientists have been working 4 years without a contract and a couple of decades of not being paid equal with our peers. It’s time Newsom values State Scientist with a fair contract. @JenSiebelNewsom @CalHR_gov

I also frequently think about the climate catastrophe that my future children will inherit. If we are unable to fairly pay the State Scientists at the forefront of this work, will our best minds leave for other sectors? #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

Women are the caretakers, yet #CAStateScientists who are predominantly women & whose jobs are to care for public & environmental health face an ever-deepening gender pay gap, one that @GavinNewsom @JenSiebelNewsom & @CalHR_gov continue to ignore. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
This week, @CaliforniaLabor delegates from over 1,300 labor unions, unanimously passed a resolution brought by CAPS-UAW, supporting our demand for pay equity, a fair contract, and closing the gender pay gap within State Civil Service. Read the resolution: calaborconvention.org/wp-content/upl…
CA is losing highly trained state scientists because of relatively low pay and low morale. The challenges CA faces around climate change, water, species protection are severe, and needs scientific expertise. Newsom is gutting the talent pool by refusing to pay us fair wages.

CalEPA CNRA & Gavin forced many of our talented @capsScientists, who protect air, water & food, to leave their critical work. Our leaders say they protect communities & environment but ignore Scientists doing this work ➡️ Hypocrisy! @CalEPASecretary @WadeCrowfoot @GavinNewsom

My wife and I had our first child in 2020. Little did we know that we would subsequently be out of contract for several years and my wages would remain stagnant amidst staggering inflation. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
Even with our combined income we struggle to cover rent, utilities, food, and childcare each month. If we weren't getting help from our families we would not be able to pay for our daughter's childcare. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
Success as a State employee shouldn't hinge on having a partner for financial support or cobbling together multiple income streams just to scrape by. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
Last night, over 1,000 rank-and-file CAPS-UAW members showed up to our Membership Meeting at 16 different locations all over California, and virtually, to discuss and determine our next move at the Bargaining Table! #EqualPayCA
I reduced my timebase at my State job to make time to work a second, higher-paying job so I can make ends-meet for my family. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
I am constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and concerned for my safety but I can't afford to change anything unless the gender pay gap is remedied. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
Despite some of us holding Ph.D.s and using our expertise daily, my Scientist colleagues and I, predominantly women and LGBTQ+, are not fairly compensated for our advanced training and contributions. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
