UC academic workers union calls for strikes at UCLA and UC Davis over campus protest responses
UC academic workers union calls for strikes at UCLA and UC Davis over campus protest responseshttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/uc-academic-workers-union-calls-strikes-ucla-uc-davis-campus-protest-r-rcna153908
The labor union that represents thousands of University of California academic workers is calling on members at UCLA and UC Davis to go on strike to protest their campuses' responses to pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In a post on X, the UAW 4811 union urged academic workers at the two campuses to "STAND UP and walk off the job" on Tuesday. The workers would be following in the footsteps of union members at UC Santa Cruz, who went on strike this week.
...
The union argues the UC system "mishandled and escalated the situation by taking unlawful actions that cut to the heart of our collective bargaining agreements," alleging administrators infringed on the free speech of pro-Palestinian and antiwar activists protesting the Israel-Hamas war.
...
UCLA announced this week that the campus police chief who was faulted for his apparently slow response to the night of violence had been removed from his post, "temporarily, pending an examination of our security processes," it said in a statement.
