UC Academic Workers to Strike at UCLA and UC Davis Next Week

Academic workers at UCLA and UC Davis are set to join an ongoing strike initiated by the United Auto Workers Local 4811, protesting the UC system's handling of pro-Palestinian encampments related to the Israel-Hamas war. The UC system's attempt to end the strike through an injunction was unsuccessful, and the California Public Employment Relations Board has filed a complaint against the strike for violating no-strike clauses in the collective bargaining agreements. An informal meeting between the involved parties is scheduled, with a formal hearing possible if no settlement is reached.
