BREAKING NEWS: Thousands of researchers and student employees at all 10 University of California campuses have gone on strike as of 8 a.m. this morning in an effort to secure improved pay and working conditions.
About 48,000 union workers were estimated to have walked off the job at UCLA and nine other UC campuses across the state Monday morning. They voted to strike after months of failed negotiations with UC administrators.
Wages are a key issue. Some workers - many of them graduate students - say they spend more than half their monthly pay on rent. UAW officials said bargaining teams met late Saturday night and decided to proceed with a strike Monday "unless UC ceases its unlawful conduct in order to reach fair contracts before then.''
