Thousands of University of California workers including researchers, graduate scholars, teaching assistants and graders have said they will strike Monday just weeks ahead of final exams.
SACRAMENTO -- Nearly 48,000 University of California workers including researchers, postdoctoral scholars, teaching assistants and graders have said they will strike Monday, a move that could shut down some classes and laboratories just weeks ahead of final exams in December.
UAW bargaining units are set to picket from 8 a.m. Monday. Nearly 98 percent of the 36,558 members voted to approve the strike authorization, according to the union."Extremely low compensation - many workers make less than $24,000 a year - is leaving workers severely rent-burdened and struggling to remain in academia.
UC Berkeley has set up a strike website with"guidance and associated FAQs that will be updated periodically," according to a statement issued Thursday by Benjamin E. Hermalin, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost of UC Berkeley, and Eugene Whitlock, Chief People & Culture Officer at UC Berkeley. The site is not accessible to the general public.
