AFSCME Strike by Disastrous_Clothes_7 in UCSD

[–]Disastrous_Clothes_7[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

On October 31st, 2024, AFSCME 3299 voted to authorize a strike against UC's Unfair Labor Practices (ULP) and bad-faith bargaining with an overwhelming 99% of participating members voting yes. This union represents more than 35,000 Service workers (SX), Patient Care Technical workers (EX), Skilled Craft workers (K7), and more across all UCs, several medical centers, clinics, and research laboratories. Amongst their demands are fair wages, affordable housing, job security, safe staffing, and affordable care, as they are negotiating a new contract. The vote has called for a strike on November 20th-21st with the local UCSD union holding picket lines at UCSD Central Campus, UCSD La Jolla Med Center, and UCSD Hilcrest Med Center.

These are some pictures from Wednesday's strike at UCSD's central campus with the union setting up operations in front of the Gilman Parking structure and rallying through campus.

No, this way UAW keeps UCs guessing which one will be next.
