Day 3 of our strike against UC's refusal to negotiate a fair contract #UPTE #UC #UCBerkeley #UnionStrong

“UC has tremendous resources — $20 billion in reserves. They should be supporting research as we face federal attacks." UC, your time is better spent protecting public healthcare, research & education—not undermining workers' rights & bargaining in bad faith. www.mercurynews.com/2025/02/27/u...

Absolutely massive march of strikers in Westwood at UCLA @afscme3299.bsky.social @uptecwa.bsky.social. Biggest protest I’ve seen in some years. Quite a show of solidarity!

UC's representatives have made it increasingly clear: UC administrators will not engage with the urgent demands set out by clinicians, researchers, and frontline staff without the pressure of a strike. UPTE members: vote yes NOW at upte.org/vote #strike #1u

After 7 months of bargaining, UC continues to bargain in bad faith, commit unfair labor practices, and refuse to engage with our bargaining priorities meaningfully. We'll be holding a statewide ULP strike vote on February 3—get the latest at upte.org/uofcalifornia,
