Thousands of academic workers returned to the job after weeks-long strike and vowed more actions to come
academic workers who went on strike across six campuses protesting administrators’ response to pro-Palestinian protests returned to the job on Monday under court order, but their union vowed more protests to come.
University officials had originally petitioned the California public employment relations board, but the panel twice rejected their requests for an injunction.The work stoppage was organized by the United Auto Workers (union Local 4811, which represents some 48,000 non-tenured academic employees across 10 UC campuses and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Continuation of the strike “would have caused irreversible setback to the students’ academic achievements and may have stalled critical research projects in the final quarter”, Melissa Matella, UC’s associate vice president for labor relations, said in a statement welcoming the restraining order. UAW 4811 leaders denounced the ruling, saying the judge defied the authority of the employment relations board by intervening in a labor matter outside the court’s jurisdiction.
