'We are extremely grateful for a pause in this strike so our students can complete their academic studies,' Melissa Matella, UC associate vice president for Systemwide Labor Relations said.
An Orange County Superior Court judge ordered on Friday that University of California academic workers must halt their strikes on six campuses, as the education of students could be affected by the strikes.Teaching assistants, researchers and other graduate student workers have been protesting the response by their schools to recent demonstrations over the conflict in Gaza.The unionized academic workers initially began their protests at UC Santa Cruz, then spread last week to UCLA and UC Davis.
Academic workers have been striking in the form of 'Stand Up' demonstrations that started May 20. They say their rights to freedom of speech and expression in the workplace have been violated. Some have been among those arrested at protests while others have faced disciplinary action by their schools such as suspensions or bans from campus.
