The move could shut down classes and halt research projects as researchers and student employees seek better pay and benefits.
Tens of thousands of researchers and student employees across the University of California system — including thousands in the Bay Area — plan to go on strike Monday, threatening to shut down classes and halt research projects in a bid for improved pay and working conditions.
Union organizers said the strike would only be averted if the university system “ceases its unlawful conduct in order to reach fair contracts.” “Too many people are being forced out of UC because they aren’t paid enough to afford the rising cost of housing, on or off campus,” said Mai Do, a bargaining team member of UAW 2865, in a prepared statement announcing the planned strike.
“We have listened carefully to UAW priorities with an open mind and a genuine willingness to compromise,” the statement said, adding that negotiations were continuing and several tentative agreements had been reached on work environment, health and safety issues. “We are committed to continuing to negotiate in good faith and reaching full agreements as soon as possible.”
