Hundreds of thousands of undergraduate students at the University of California face a chaotic finish to their fall term as a strike by academic workers grinds through its fourth week.
Finals were in full swing this week even as some 48,000 employees represented by the United Auto Workers union remain on strike, including the tutors and teaching assistants who lead class discussions, provide one-on-one mentorship and support, and help faculty grade coursework.
The strike comes as rising inflation and a severe housing shortage makes it difficult for moderate- to low-income earners to pay for even basic necessities, like food and rent. The strikers join a long list of people employed by public agencies, like teachers and police officers, who cannot afford to live where they serve in high-priced cities like Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
Some faculty members who joined the picket line told students that classes would be on hold indefinitely. But Hernandez and classmate Joshua Golshirazi lost one of their teaching assistants to the strike, and both worry they won't be able to finish their final assignments without the additional support.
