Strike: Service Workers on U. California Campuses Hit the Picket Lines

Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on July 14, 2008

The Chronicle of Higher Education is reporting that 8,500 service workers on the campuses of the University of California System started a five day strike today.

The University of California System has 10 campuses, including UCLAlinks, UC Davis, and UC Berkeley.

The Chronicle sums up the reasons behind the strike as follows:
The union, which is affiliated with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, known as AFSCME, represents bus drivers, cooks, custodians, and other service workers on all 10 campuses of the university system. The union and the system have failed for nearly a year to reach an agreement over wage increases.
The strike comes in violation of a court order.
