STRIKE AUTHORIZED!! (97% voted yes)
What Happens Next...
The Bargaining Teams are meeting tomorrow to discuss next steps. We admonish UC to cease its unlawful behavior and encourage them to come to the bargaining table to negotiate agreements that help create research and teaching environments where all can thrive. But if UC continues its bad faith tactics, the results of these votes make it plain that Academic Workers are nonetheless prepared to take strong actions. More details to follow soon.
Strike Pay
