To: Dr. Michael Green, Director of UCLA Green Lab
Stop the Abuse of Workers at UCLA
Let Dr. Michael Green know he can't abuse and fire workers at UCLA.
Why is this important?
Recently when several workers at the UCLA Green lab inquired about establishing equitable pay scales for all of the employees at the lab, management's response to the meeting request was to fire, the day after the request was made, a woman who was thought to have organized the group.
Though this reaction is appalling in any workplace, it is exceptionally disgusting when it takes place at a public institution which is tasked with studying and helping those with mental illness and the known link of hostile work conditions with causing mental illness (study link below).
You can’t be of true service to the study & care of those with mental illness if you help create conditions that can cause it.
