Tens of thousands of University of California academic workers -- including teaching assistants, graduate student researchers, postdocs, and more -- are on strike as of today. Unlike the wildcat strikes at UCSC in 2019-2020, this strike involves the entire UC system and is a union-sanctioned strike.

48,000 UC graduate student workers go on strike

The UC strike is calling for better pay and benefits for teaching assistants, postdoctoral scholars, graduate student researchers, tutors and fellows.

@lindsey very interesting article, and potentially revolutionary consequences for this fight!
What do you think it will happen?

@nuclearidini I don't know what will happen, but I support the striking workers and I think that they have a better shot at success this time than they did three years ago, with a statewide effort and the support of the union behind them. IMO, it's especially significant that four bargaining units are in this together.
