UAW 4811, which represents 48,000 academic workers in the UC system, said its members would go on strike at UC Irvine, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara the first week of June.
The UC union representing 48,000 graduate teaching assistants, researchers and other academic workers said Friday that it would expand its ongoing strike next week by calling on thousands of workers at UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine to walk off the job, a major escalation of labor tensions that would involve six of the system's 10 campuses.
They also say the university violated members' rights as workers by failing to protect them when a mob attacked protesters at UCLA, including union members, and police took hours to intervene. UC leaders contend that the strike is illegal because of a 'no-strike' clause in the union's contract, which won significant raises for workers after a 2022 strike.
