Professors canceled classes and truck drivers refused to cross the picket lines to deliver packages Monday in support of the nation's largest strike since 2019.
The strike by about 48,000 workers, including 17,000 student researchers, at UCLA, UC Irvine, the eight othercampuses and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Tuesday will enter its second day.
Professors canceled classes and truck drivers refused to cross the picket lines to deliver packages Monday in support of the nation's largest strike since 2019, the largest at any academic institution, and first by postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers, according to Rafael Jaime, president of UAW Local 2865, which represents the striking tutors, readers, graduate student instructors and teaching assistants.
The university system's "primary goal in these negotiations is achieving multiyear agreements that recognize these employees' important and highly valued contributions to the university's teaching and research mission with fair pay, quality health and family-friendly benefits, and a supportive and respectful work environment," King said in a statement provided to CNS.
"... We have listened carefully to UAW priorities with an open mind and a genuine willingness to compromise. Negotiations are progressing, and many tentative agreements have been reached on key issues such as a respectful work environment and health and safety matters. We are committed to continuing to negotiate in good faith and reaching full agreements as soon as possible," the statement continued.
Union officials say some of the employees make as little as $24,000 per year. Along with higher salaries and greater annual raises, the workers are demanding free public transit passes, improved child care benefits and greater job security.that I have read and agree
