Thousands of patient care and service workers at UC San Diego Medical Center and other University of California campuses across the state will stage a two-day strike starting Wednesday, alleging unfair bargaining tactics, allegations the UC system denies.
The UC system issued a statement earlier this month when the strike notice was issued, saying officials"fundamentally disagree with AFSCME's claims of bad faith bargaining and characterization of unacceptable bargaining proposals."UC officials said the university and union had a robust series of meetings and exchanges of various contract proposals between January and May.
University officials said the union in May stopped responding to or acknowledging the university's proposals and declared an impasse"despite our clear willingness to continue to negotiate contract terms." According to the university, the most recent proposal would have raised wages to $25 an hour across the system by July 1, 2025.
Union officials alleged that some of its members are forced to endure multi-hour commutes or sleep in their cars, and the share of the workforce eligible for some government housing subsidies"has nearly tripled since 2017."
