📅 As finals and capstone projects approach, the strike's impact on academics is significant. UC prepares for continued disruptions, with officials urging campuses to brace for ongoing strike actions potentially lasting until June 30. #UCLAStrike #UCStrike
💬 "Injunction against the UC strike DENIED. UC has had many chances to resolve its egregious ULPs [unfair labor practices] and it has thus far refused to engage," says UAW 4811. The union praises the labor board's decision to allow the strike. #UCLAStrike #UCStrike
📢 The strike began at UC Santa Cruz, with plans to spread across different campuses. Union UAW 4811, representing TAs, tutors, researchers, demands negotiations over protest-related issues and calls for divestment from military contractors. #UCLAStrike #UCStrike
🔍 UC officials argued the walkout was illegal and harmful, but the state labor board disagreed, stating the university's complaint didn't meet the legal standard for intervention. The legality of the strike remains a pending issue. #UCLAStrike #UCStrike
niaI stand in solidarity with my fellow academic workers and union members who were arrested and jailed for union activity, including chalking a sidewalk. UCSD, this screams of retaliation for the UC strike last fall #Strike #Solidarity #Academic #Union #UCStrike #UCSD #DropTheCharges #UAW https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/labor-unionization/2023/07/07/uc-unions-chalk-markers-led-felony-vandalism
UC unions: chalk, markers led to felony vandalism charge
The University of California at San Diego police department arrested two students and a graduate for "felony vandalism" of a new building. The university says they did more than $12,000 in damage, but the unions said they used washable markers and chalk.
David JekelThread on the #ucstrike
This Fall four different bargaining units at the University of California were went through collective bargaining with the UC, culminating in a month-long strike.
I'm both a postdoc and a lecturer, and I took part in some of the initial research and proposals for the postdocs back in 2020 (yes, the bargaining for postdocs dragged on 18 months), but I was not as involved once I started teaching in Fall 2021.

Alex SaumThe #ucstrike has ended and yet I feel little relief... and little has in fact changed for my graduate student workers... but it is now time to work on those final grades somehow! wish me luck!!
Ryan D. EdwardsMore involvement and more solidarity is a good thing.
But it’s dispiriting to hear that ASEs outside of the SF Bay Area and LA felt that a geographically unequal COLA was worth a No vote. Firefighters unions are accustomed to the reality of local price level differences, just ask members who serve in Silicon Valley
