Thousands of UC Employees Plan Strike To Protest Wage Stagnation

More than 65,000 University of California campus and health center employees will launch a two-day strike on November 17 and 18 over the university’s failure to settle contracts addressing the cost of living and affordability crises facing its most economically vulnerable workers. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) Local 3299, which represents more than 40,000 UC service and patient care technical workers, will lead the strike, joined in solidarity by 25,000 UC nurses represented by the California Nurses Association.

VICTORY!!! My coworkers and I in UPTE took on the University of California to fight for our patients, students, & research. Early this morning, our bargaining team announced they had reached a Tentative Agreement with the UC. Details unknown at this time, but it's no coincidence that this was announced shortly before UPTE, AFSCME, & CNA unions went out on the largest strike in UC's history.

Please, please, UC, give us a reason to hit this button AGAIN!
The University of California asked our bargaining team to continue mediation late yesterday. If we don't get a tentative agreement today or tomorrow, I all but guarantee we will go on strike. And if we (UPTE, University Professional & Technical Employees) call a strike, other unions w/o contracts (AFSCME, CNA) will likely join us. 85,000 workers, largest strike at UC? YES, PLEASE! #Labor #HigherEd #California #UPTE #AFSCME #CNA

Off the top of my head ...
At least in the US, many #libraries are partially funded by ballot initiatives that come up every few years. These are not always front page news.
Also, my library has an almost entirely #union-represented work force (shout out #AFSCME Local 21). Your community might have that too. If they are doing the communicating thing well, you might see when they request support but that's not a certain thing.

DC33’s workers are back on the job, doing what they do to keep the city running but they are still underpaid, overworked, and unappreciated by the people who sign their paychecks.

Something Is Still Rotten in the City of Philadelphia

Philly workers went out on strike—and came back with a deal that nobody seems to like.
