🚨 ULP Strike Vote TODAY! 🚨

For the past months, UC has been bargaining in bad faith. They refused to share even the most basic information that we needed, arrived at bargaining unprepared and without any authority to negotiate, and now UC has announced plans to increase our healthcare costs by up to 11%—without bargaining over these changes at all! Our ULP committee has called for a ULP strike vote!

Mere days until the end of the 2024 General Election. Labor has been front and center in the news cycle so we know how important it is to have representatives that actually represent us. Here's our latest endorsement.

Agnes is voting yes because she’s NOT scared of UC. She knows that when we stand together, we’re stronger than ever.

Michael understands that times are tough but also that they’ll get even tougher if we let UC push us around. We must show them we mean business to ensure UC is held accountable for their bad faith bargaining and illegal practices.

Kat is voting yes because she understands the power of unity. A union united will NEVER be defeated!

This morning we delivered warm and delicious tamales to the striking members who are taking a stand against their greedy boss! One job, SHOULD be enough!

Monica is voting yes because her family’s needs depend on genuine bargaining, not UC’s games and insults. Will you join her?

Last week, we announced the upcoming strike vote taking place from October 28th to October 30th on your local campus. What does this mean?

UC has failed to negotiate so 3299 had to file charges against the university for its refusal to bargain in good faith!

We encourage you to vote YES when the voting booths open. We can't continue to let UC break the law. Protect our healthcare benefits! And tell UC: it’s time to come clean about short staffing and bargain in good faith!

Today, we honor the people who first called this land home.
Indigenous People are still here, fighting, educating, and protecting this land so we can leave this Earth better for future generations. Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨| STRIKE VOTE on 10.28-30, 2024

We are tired of UC's bad-faith bargaining. Not only has UC failed to address our demands, but it came to bargaining unprepared and without any authority to negotiate. UC has refused to provide us with even the basic information we need to bargain our contracts. And now it is imposing major increases to our healthcare costs!

Our ULP Committee has called for a STRIKE VOTE for Service and Patient Care members!
