UAW Local 4811 to Take Strike Vote

United Auto Workers Local 4811 members are voting, from Monday, May 13 through Wednesday, May 15, to authorize the union’s Executive Board to call a strike if necessary.

The union represents 48,000 academic student employees, postdocs and researchers at the UC.

The union on Friday, May 3, filed an Unfair Labor Practice against the University of California in response to the arrests on UC San Diego and UCLA campuses of protesters, including union members at the Gaza Solidarity encampments at the campuses.
