United Auto Workers Local 4811 votes to authorize strike dailybruin.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from dailybruin.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Student workers at all eleven University of California campuses voted to authorize a Stand Up Strike due to alleged unfair labor practices at UC Los Angeles on Apr. 30 and May 1 and UC San Diego on May 6.
Academic workers reached an agreement with the UC on Monday to increase wages and employment rates for graduate student researchers. Affected researchers will receive raises as high as $10,000 per year, according to a United Auto Workers Local 2865 press release from Monday afternoon. Since UAW and the UC came to an agreement on their historic contract in December 2022, graduate student researchers – previously under Student Researchers United-UAW before its merger with UAW Local 2865 in February – argued that UC management ignored its contract and manipulated full-time equivalent percentages of student researcher appointments to short them on pay.
