After 15 months of fighting to address UC’s staffing crisis, we’ve seen nothing but unfair labor practices, layoffs, and misplaced priorities as they spend billions on buildings while making cuts to care.
Enough is enough. Make a plan to vote YES between Sept 22 - Oct 1 #strike

Trump and Republicans are trying to slash Medicaid with their “Big Beautiful Bill”, this will not only cost thousands of our members their jobs and livelihoods, but will force millions of Americans whose lives depend on these critical services to go without. Let's call this what it is: mass murder.

Vice President Cook was proud to join UPTE workers on the picket line demanding the UC system stop its unfair labor practices, and come back to the table to bargain in good faith. UC, we demand a fair contract now!
May 1 is International Workers’ Day—a fitting day for our unfair labor practice strike against UC’s hiring freeze. The freeze undermines UC’s promise of world-class patient care, research, and education, and leaves workers doing more with less. #Strike #StrikeReady #Solidarity #UC

Sonya was asked why the public should care about the staffing issues and unfair labor practices at UC, and you need to hear her answer.
It's not just a healthcare issue—UC workers also advance ground-breaking research and support a world-class education for students.

The Trump administration just announced in court that they’ll be reversing their illegal revocation of thousands of student visas. This is a win in our fight against authoritarianism and for free speech, but it is not enough. Trump and ICE must free all detained students and political prisoners.
