Hundreds of UCLA workers including teaching assistants and researchers staged a walkout Tuesday to slam the university's response to Gaza protests.
UCLA workers walked off the job Tuesday to protest the university's response to Gaza demonstrations at the campus, alleging workers' rights have been violated.Researchers, graduate student teaching assistants and other academic workers with the union United Auto Workers 4811 staged the walkout to speak out against the handling of campus demonstrations and pro-Palestinian encampments which have emerged at colleges across the U.S.
The UC alleged such a demonstration is not legal since the labor union's protests and negotiations 'must be tied to terms and conditions of employment and terms in the collective bargaining agreement.''UAW's strike is unlawful because the goal is to pressure the University to concede to a list of politically motivated demands closely linked to the protests occurring across California and the nation,' reads a May 21 statement from the UC Office of the President.
